TREE NEWS reports: Speculative net long positions in ICE Brent crude rose by 31,977 contracts to 233,029 in the week to October 13, a four-week high, the Intercontinental Exchange reported. Net longs in white sugar also climbed to a four-week high of 60,755 contracts, while net shorts in London cocoa fell to a four-week low of 4,088 contracts.
ICE: Brent crude net longs hit four-week high of 233,029 contracts
The rebuild in Brent length stands out less for its size than for its breadth: sugar positioning hit the same four-week high, while cocoa shorts were trimmed to a four-week low. That pattern suggests speculative capital rotating back into softs and energy together rather than a single-commodity story. Whether the cocoa short-covering continues, or was merely a one-week adjustment, is the open question worth watching.
