Commitment of traders – British pound futures (GBP):
Large speculators flipped to net-long exposure for the first time since February 2022, thanks to another set of hot wage and employment figures released on Tuesday (the cut off point for the weekly report, which is released the following Friday). And given that inflation data remained in double digits and the British pound is the second strongest FX major this year (behind CHF), we suspect traders will become increasingly net-log this week.

- Traders flipped to net-long copper futures for the first time in 11 weeks
- Net-long exposure to silver futures rose to an 11-week high
