Institutional investors reduced the SRW wheat net long holdings from the previous week (26,165 contracts) to 25,381 contracts in the week ending April 14, 20. The investor group of "institutional investors", which includes banks, insurance companies, fund companies, etc., remains largely bullish in wheat. According to 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 27,169 contracts to 137.5711 contracts.
In addition, "institutional investors" reduced the net long holdings of soybeans by 4,639 contracts to 12,522 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 April 14 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!
