Gold
The oldest reserve asset. Central banks have been net buyers of gold every year since 2010, according to the World Gold Council's Gold Demand Trends series.
This asset is futures listed on the venue linked above — a typed relationship in the dataset, not a name that happened to match. The parties named after it (LBMA (OTC bullion)) matter to how it trades but are not entities here.
No live level is shown for this asset: our open, keyless sources cover crypto, major FX crosses, the ECB policy rate, the US 10-year yield and US CPI — index levels and commodity prices are only available from licensed vendors, and we do not publish figures we cannot source openly. What we do carry.

A position, not a price, and not a forecast — and never today. The report fixes positions as of a Tuesday and is published the Friday after, so it is three days old when it appears and ten by the time the next one lands. All five of the CFTC’s report families carry the same newest date, so this is the freshest that exists rather than the freshest we fetched. The commercial side is its mirror: every speculative long is somebody else’s short.
