The CFTC positioning at 2nd pctile (crowded short) means every spec short is a potential forced cover — this is a mechanical bid that exists independent of the macro thesis. The tariff court ruling (10% global tariff reinstated) is inflationary for energy via supply chain costs and potential retaliatory measures affecting energy trade.
