Commitment of Traders Update

(as of 4/4/2023)

  • Corn:  Managed Money were net long 21,547 futures/options contracts.  Broken down, that is 199,558 longs VS 178,011 shorts.  Though the net position is relatively neutral, the longs and the shorts are large, which has the potential to spark volatility if a fundamental or technical catalyst triggers long liquidation or short covering.  
  • Soybeans:  Managed Money were reported to be net long 145,964 futures/options contracts.  Broken down that is 158,354 longs VS 12,390 shorts.  Though we have seen the funds as long as 189,009 contracts this year (2/21/2023), the risk of long liquidation growing.  
  • Wheat:  Managed Money were reported to be net short 87,083 futures/options contracts.  Broken down that is 56,809 longs VS 143,892 shorts.

Crop Progress

  • Out at 3pm CT.  Crop conditions for wheat will be the "big ticket item" for analysts and traders.
