Institutional investors reduced the SRW wheat net long holdings from the previous week (25,381 contracts) to 24,001 contracts in the week ending April 21, 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 23,486 contracts to 161,057 contracts.
In addition, "institutional investors" turned last week's net long holdings of soybeans from 12,522 contracts to 2,864 net short 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 21 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!
