The latest market positioning data indicates that speculative long positions in commodities have fallen to their lowest level in nearly a year. Traders have been reducing exposure to metals, energy, and agricultural products amid shifting global supply-demand dynamics.

In the foreign exchange market, the US dollar has faced increased selling pressure for the sixth consecutive week, as expectations of interest rate cuts gain traction. However, safe-haven demand has kept the currency relatively stable against select peers.

Gold remains a standout in the commodities space, with net long positions holding steady despite the broader market pullback. Analysts suggest that volatility in both commodity and currency markets will persist through the next quarter, offering opportunities for tactical trades.
