Latest Gold, Silver and US Dollar Index COT Report *LINK* *PIC*

Commercials started to really pile on to their net short positions for both Silver and Gold just before the metals flash crash on Wednesday. Conversely, and also quite typically, both the large and small specs went heavily long by the end of Tuesday before being fed into the market buzz saw the following day. Ouch!

Interesting action in the greenback as well with Commercials reducing their net short position to the tune of about 6000 contracts for the period. The specs once again did the opposite, reducing long dollar positions and increasing shorts heading directly into the dollar rally that followed.

Important week ahead for the markets with the U.S. jobs report on deck for Friday March 9th. The 8th could be a significant turn date in general.
