The wheat speculators in Chicago showed little momentum for price changes compared to the previous week. The fact that the current prices nevertheless changed is due to the expiry of the Dec. Futures and a switch to the March Future. Net short positions decreased only by 3,993 contracts to 118,781 net short positions.
The corn speculators in Chicago had a bit more going on. A minus of 35,244 contracts brought 160,519 net short positions at the end of the reference week. The courses were therefore able to recover slightly.
