Monthly Chart Pack - February 2025

Thursday, 06 February 2025, written by Henk-Jan Pijper

Our chart-pack contains the most relevant macroeconomic graphs in one place, clearly structured and organized for a wide range of economic and financial market indicators and analytical content. Additionally, we provide regional and country level data as well as international comparisons allowing you to compare financial and macro indicators across countries.

Take the chart with sentiment data (from the Commitment of Traders report) regarding gold for example. It shows that ‘large speculators in futures and options contracts’ are holding a historically high amount of net-long positions (as a percentage of open interest) with which they speculate on a further increase for the precious metal. This increasing optimism is a warning signal, but sentiment seems not be exuberant enough (yet) to warrant any immediate (contrarian) bearish conclusions. In fact, a time lag between extremes on traders' positions and price reversals is not uncommon. Also, as gold prices rise even further, large speculators could accumulate even more net long positions (further increasing bullish sentiment) before a meaningful top or price reversal is in the making.

For a comprehensive analysis of gold and other precious metals, see the most recent Gold report.

About this report

Our chart-pack contains the most relevant macroeconomic graphs in one place, clearly structured and organized for a wide range of economic and financial market indicators and analytical content. Additionally, we provide regional and country level data as well as international comparisons to allow you to contrast financial and macro indicators across countries.

The main benefit, we hear from our users, is that this is a huge time saver for them – although they can access much of the data from sources they have access to, it always takes time to put it together. For our users who do not have access to data sources such as 'Datastream' or 'Bloomberg' it is also a cost saving alternative to those systems. 

Our 'Chart-Pack' is also available to you as a 'White-label solution'. Use the charts in your periodic newsletter. Or, it can be used for your internal (investment committee) meetings and/or to discuss markets with clients. It will then not only delivered to you in PDF format but also in Word so that you edit and use for your letters, meetings or presentations. It is also possible to include additional charts.
