It’s Saturday yet again, and with CTFC data up and running, that means a return of the weekly Positioning Watch, where we take you through how traders are positioned across asset classes. Remember that you can always find ALL positioning data readily available in our datahub.

In the following we’ll highlight our main conclusions from this week’s report. 

Equity Positioning: Bank earnings lift sentiment

  • Equity positioning is still short, however bank earnings yesterday seems to have upped the mood a bit
  • Nasdaq positioning is still long, but traders are cautious in adding more to their positions
