CFTC Update: Big Money Is Chasing Soybeans, Copper, and Crude
If you want to trade futures, then CFTC data is something you really shouldn’t ignore. The CFTC is the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which you can think of as the regulator of the U.S. futures market. Every week, it publishes large-trader positioning data that tells you which side the big money is on. So today, let’s go through the latest set of CFTC data. Before we begin, let me briefly explain what CFTC data actually is. The CFTC report tracks positions in futures contracts, and these are divided into reportable positions and non-reportable positions. Reportable positions are further split into commercial and non-commercial positions.

Last night, $韩国ETF-iShares MSCI(EWY)$ plunged 7%, far exceeding the 0.48% decline in the KOSPI index. Why did this happen? It was likely influenced by the sharp sell-off in the U.S. market overnight. The $纳斯达克(.IXIC)$ fell nearly 1.8%. The decline in U.S. equities was driven by escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. Donald Trump stated that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is more important than keeping oil prices low. Meanwhile, Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei signaled an intention to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. As a result, the market is beginning to price in the risk that if shipping routes have not resumed by the end of March, oil p

The worst position is to be caught in a position when the market is down and you are unable to seize the opportunity. Keep calm and stay safe! 🙏🚀

The Market Loves $AAOI Orders — But Hates the Capital Needed to Deliver Them
The market has a strange habit with Applied Optoelectronics$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ When hyperscaler orders arrive, investors celebrate the growth story. But the moment the company raises capital to actually fulfill those orders, the same market punishes the stock. That reaction feels somewhat irrational. At around $110, a $250M ATM raise represents roughly ~3% dilution — effectively cheap capital for a company trying to rapidly scale AI optical transceiver capacity. In reality, this type of capital raise is exactly what you want to see when demand is accelerating. If the funds translate into real 800G and eventually 1.6T shipments, today’s “dilution” is simply the bridge to tomorrow’s revenue growth. The current weakness likely
