A bunch of signals take effect on Monday's open of trading based on the latest Commitments of Traders data:

- bullish for natural gas
- bearish for the BKX U.S. Bank Index and gold
- cash for crude oil and the 30-year Treasury bond

Other signals remain the same. See my latest signals table for more details on trader positioning in all the markets I'm covering using the free weekly COT data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Commitments Data This Week: Bullish for Banks, Bearish for Japan... And for Oct. 15: Bearish for Natural Gas

A sudden break appeared Friday in the otherwise generally bearish tone of the recent trader positioning as shown in the weekly Commitments of Traders data.

My trading setup for the BKX U.S. Bank Index has gone to bullish for the coming week's open of trading. See my latest signals table for more details on the trader positioning in this and my other setups.

At the same time, my setup for the Nikkei Stock Average goes to bearish this week. And my other existing signals remain the same, including bearish for the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, silver and copper.

Natural gas, meanwhile, remains in cash this week but then goes bearish in a week, on Oct. 15.

Happy Thanksgiving to Canadian readers, and good luck this coming week.
