Institutional investors turned their SRW wheat net long portfolio as of December 7th, 21 (721 contracts) in the week ended December 14th, 21st to 7,303 net short contracts. The investor group of "institutional investors", to which banks, insurance companies, fund companies, etc. belong, is thus positioned bearishly for the wheat for the first time since the end of October. That comes from the COT report of the US Department of Agriculture, which was published on Friday evening.
In corn, the net long position was increased to 345,980 contracts (+13,479 contracts).
In addition, "institutional investors" increased the net long soybean inventory by 3,093 contracts to 40,975 contracts.
Since the report is always published with a delay of almost a week by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), all changes after December 14th 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 on a daily basis. However, options are not taken into account in the daily estimates!
