The gains in the data released Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission came via a mix of short covering, that is buying back of previously sold positions, and newly added long positions as noted in both the disaggregated and legacy reports. In copper, speculators sheared short positions, and [..] turned net-long for the first time since February.”
