WASHINGTON — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission will resume publishing Commitments of Traders reports Wednesday and released a schedule for the publication of reports that were interrupted during the lapse in federal government appropriations. 

The reports will be published in chronological order beginning Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. (ET). This report will include data from the first missed report, which would have published Oct. 3. To reduce the COT report backlog, the CFTC will increase publication frequency allowing for the backlog to be cleared by the report scheduled for Jan. 23.

This schedule is consistent with prior post-shutdown publishing. The revised publication schedule is below and will be updated as necessary. Check CFTC.gov for the most up-to-date information.
