FX.co ★ Speculative Corn Bets Ease as CFTC Net Long Positions Fall to 290.8K

Speculative interest in U.S. corn futures has softened, with CFTC corn speculative net positions declining to 290.8K, down from a previous level of 334.8K. The latest figures, updated on 10 April 2026, indicate a notable pullback in net long exposure.

The reduction of roughly 44K contracts in speculative net positions suggests traders may be trimming bullish bets or reassessing price risks in the corn market. While the data does not specify the drivers behind the shift, the move points to a more cautious stance among market participants compared with the prior reporting period.
