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.

Coverage and method

The Guangzhou palladium contract launched on 27 November 2025; its member leg joins when the GFEX dataset lands.

Sector: Metals, Precious 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.
