Data
CFTC data: Large Trader Reporting System (andmore)
LTRS identifies daily positions of individual tradersclassified by line of business.
Reporting thresholds: e.g. 350 contracts for crude oil,200 contracts for natural gas and 250 contracts for corn.LTRS data represents approximately 70 to 90 percent oftotal open interest in each market.The LTRS data identifies growth in speculative positions.

Hedging Costs
Short hedge: a corn grower is able reduce her exposure toprice risk by taking a short position in the futures market.
Long Hedge: a flour mill, that plans to buy the crop afterit matures, can reduce its exposure to price risk by buyingthe crop in advance using futures.Cost of hedging: it is the equilibrium discount price (fromexpected spot prices) hedgers accept in order to avoidprice risk.

The Model
The ModelTwo maturities
Three agentsI CITs: their positions are exogenous and contain no
information.I Hedgers and Speculators have symmetric knowledge of
market fundamentals but have different endowments.Hedgers have positions in both futures and cash marketswhile speculators only have positions in futures markets.

The agent consumes her entire period 2 wealth, which is equalto her initial wealth, plus the value of her position in theunderlying, plus the gain/loss she makes on the futures.
Brunetti, The role of hedgers and speculators in commodity markets - Thematic SemesterBrunetti and Reiffen: Commodity Index Trading and Hedging Costs (JFM, 2014)
The Model
The Model - cont’dAs index traders roll their positions the spread rises. Thisis to be expected, since there is a selling pressure on thematurity i contract and a buying pressure on the maturityi+1 contract. It is not trading per se that affects thespread, but rather the relative sizes of positions in the twomaturities.The spread depends also on hedgers’ cash positions. Thiseffect depends on the production cycle.The price of hedging should be correlated acrosscommodities, at least for those commodities within thetypical fund’s holdings.

The change in the number of reporting accounts
Traders with large positions are required to report to theCFTC each day.The cost of reporting positions to the CFTC is high.Traders near the reporting threshold continue reportingdaily.Over longer horizons, however, traders falling belowreporting thresholds stop reporting.Position reporting thresholds are set as a number ofcontracts so that market prices do not play a direct rolein whether an account is required to report.

Results, so far
CITs reduce the cost of hedging.CITs have an impact on the spread between the futures ofdifferent maturities.Hedge funds and swap dealers seem to reduce volatilityand, perhaps, provide liquidity.Hedgers seem to increase volatility.Swap dealer activity is not linked to returns.

Regime switching model with time varying probabilities
Regime switching model - Main findings
The model identifies 2 regimes: Bull and bear markets.Volatility in bear market is about 10 times larger than inbull markets.Hedgers have a significant and positive coefficient in thetime-varying probabilities.Swap dealers (CITs) never significant.Hedge funds not significant in bull market but significantand negative in bear market.

Results, so far
Our evidence suggests that
Hedgers do have an impact on commodity markets, andrightly so.Hedge funds seem to stabilze prices and volatility.Swap dealers do not seem to be connected to regimeshifts.
