The wheat courses in Chicago show no great movements in the last months. This is also caused by the behavior of wheat speculators in Chicago. The net short positions are roughly the same as in the last two months, with 83,965 net short positions at the end of the reporting week as of 24 October 2017.
Also in the case of maize speculators in Chicago, the sellers still retain the upper hand. With 174,394 net short positions, speculators continue to be skeptical about rising prices.
