Tidbits, USDA Grain Export Reporting, COT & Weekly Basis Delay 11/15/26
COT & Weekly Basis
Our Weekly Basis report will not be released until Tuesday this week because the CFTC will issue its all-important Commitment of Traders (COT) Report Monday. The COT is usually issued Friday afternoons on non-holiday weeks.
In late October 2026, the CFTC announced that by the end of 2026 it will begin releasing COT data twice a week. Monday’s COT data will be released on Wednesday. On Friday, Wednesday’s COT data will be released. Both reports will be released at 3:30 PM ET.
Given current technology, there is no reason the COT could not be released every day, but that would give too many traders access to valuable information that only the big money traders have had access to for decades.
