Latest CFTC Release dated November 11, 2014:

Week (Data for Tuesdays)	52 week Percentile
US Dollar	84

The COT Index is the difference between net speculative positioning and net commercial positioning measured. A blue colored bar indicates that the difference in positioning is the greatest it has been in 52 weeks (bullish) with speculators selling and commercials buying. A red colored bar indicates that the difference in positioning is the greatest it has been in 52 weeks (bearish) with speculators buying and commercials selling. Non commercials tend to be on the wrong side at the turn and commercials the correct side. Use of the index is covered closely in detail in my book.

US Treasury 10-year term premium turns positive
The U.S. Treasury 10-year term premium, a measure of the compensation investors demand for holding long-term government bonds, has moved back into positive territory this week as yields touched fresh highs on inflation concerns. Term premiums, which can hurt assets such as stocks when they rise, have been suppressed for about a decade amid low interest rates that followed the 2007-2009 global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. They turned positive last year as widening fiscal deficits and higher government bond issuance helped lift long-term Treasury yields, which move inversely to prices.
