what happened

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) published data on positions held by oil market participants as of November 3, 2026, and Dow Jones Newswires distributed the figures. Open interest in physically delivered WTI futures on NYMEX rose by 22,452 contracts to 1,908,732. In financial WTI futures on the same exchange, it fell by 23,159 contracts to 191,710.

For Brent on NYMEX (last day), open interest stood at 207,607 contracts, down 26,676. In WTI Houston futures, open interest decreased by 25,815 contracts to 559,007. On ICE, open interest in WTI light sweet crude futures in Europe declined by 1,538 contracts to 769,009.

why it matters

CFTC reports show how speculators and commercial traders allocate positions in oil contracts. A drop in open interest in financial and Brent contracts may signal that some capital is leaving the market, while growth in physical WTI points to new positions being opened. Such data helps traders gauge sentiment in the oil market.
