In the week ending May 26, 20, institutional investors reduced the SRW wheat net long holdings from the previous week (16,476 contracts) to 12,204 net short contracts. The investor group of "institutional investors", which includes banks, insurance companies, fund companies, etc., remains largely bearish in wheat. This comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's COT report, which was released in Chicago on Friday after the close of trading.
For corn, the portfolio of net short positions was increased by 30,817 contracts to 276,203 contracts.
In addition, "institutional investors" reduced the net long holdings of soybeans from 12,064 to 5,813 net long positions.
Since the report is always published by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) with a delay of almost a week, all changes after May 26 are not taken into account in this update. For this reason, we publish the estimates of the position changes for "institutional investors" in our news ticker. However, options are not taken into account in the daily estimates!
