CFTC Bank Participation: CME index futures

Visualization of CFTC data on changes in bank open interest in CME futures. The table is clickable: mm/yy opens the full CFTC report, and table cells show changes relative to the previous period.

The chart background is built per published CFTC report: each vertical window starts on the report publication date and runs until the next publication. The green lower area is bank Long Futures as a share of Long + Short, while the red upper area is the remaining Short Futures share. For example, Long = 81,422 and Short = 375,982 gives a 17.8% green area.
