COT: Crude oil sees fastest buying pace in two years

Energy: Speculators continued their rapid accumulation of length in crude oil futures and during the past four weeks, the net buying of WTI and Brent reached 155k lots, a rapid four-week accumulation of this magnitude was last seen in January 2020, just before the pandemic temporary sucked the life out of the market. The combined net long reached a ten-week high at 559k lots or 559 million barrels with WTI buying of 23.7 lots offsetting a small 2k lot reduction in Brent. Even though it was small, the reduction in Brent may signal fading belief in its short term ability to break above $90, a level that was almost reached during the week.
