Percentiles and extremes are computed over the full held span printed in the Held span column, per the 2026-10-28 redesign. The 1Y and 3Y windows and the 52-week z-score print alongside for continuity. Windows are weekly reports for the CFTC, ICE, ESMA and LME rows; the LME windows count held reports only, because that series is sampled.

Bank positions are facilitation and hedge books reported on Form 40, not proprietary views. A bank count under four is suppressed by the CFTC and prints as suppressed, never zero.

Not yet held: the SHFE harvest is in progress and no tidy dataset has landed. This block fills automatically when the dataset is built.
Price, as held by the site
| Latest price | 6.68 $/lb |
| Observations held | 23 |
| Price window | The site's market tables hold about one month of daily observations; no longer price history is held for this commodity. |
| Position and publication dates | Position dates print per venue above; this price is the latest market-table value and is not aligned to any position date. |
The price panel prints only where the site already holds the series, and it is not merged with the positioning panels: positioning is dated Tuesday or Friday and published later, so the two series are not contemporaneous.

Coverage and method
The ESMA LME line ends in December 2020 at Brexit. The Shanghai leg joins when the SHFE dataset lands.
Sector: Metals, Base metals. Units print per row and are never converted. Category definitions are each source's own. Pages render the current corrected vintage of each source; first-release vintages are not kept. An extreme reading is a condition of crowding, not a buy or sell signal.
