ICE Commitment of Traders (ICE COT) reports deliver transparency into trading activity on ICE’s derivatives markets, offering weekly insights into open interest and position concentrations across commodities, energy products, and financial instruments. These reports detail the holdings of various market participant categories, including producers, merchants, swap dealers, managed money, and other reportable groups. ICE COT data is widely used by traders, analysts, and risk managers to monitor market behavior, help understand the balance between speculative and commercial interests, and assess potential market-moving shifts in position.
The ICE COT data suite includes both current and historical disclosures, organized by contract type, participant group, and reporting period. Users can track changes in long and short positions, analyze participant activity across ICE’s global product slate, and integrate these insights into trading strategies, compliance checks, and market surveillance efforts.
ICE Commitment of Traders data is available via ICE Connect’s user-friendly desktop interface, giving market participants flexible tools to compare reports, visualize participant trends, and generate custom analyses. For institutions desiring automated solutions or high-volume data processing, ICE COT datasets are also offered through API and bulk file services, allowing seamless incorporation of position transparency into enterprise analytics, trading infrastructure, and risk management workflows.
