As traders begin to lose patience with the fundamental narrative, we have seen early signs of money managers unwinding their large long positions.”
“With that said, Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) remain comfortable with their length, but the margin of safety grows smaller with the first selling trigger now sitting at $9,715/t.”
