The late-Friday release of Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed a jump in the net long position of speculative positions. The large noncommercial market participants raised their holdings in Nymex gold for the first time in eight weeks to 64,716 lots as of last Tuesday, compared with 56,050 the prior week. It wouldn not surprising if the publication of the data on Friday has finally encouraged some profit-taking. The market is holding up very well, given the recent run.
