2026.02.2720:30:00UTC+00Speculators Turn Net Long in U.S. Corn Futures as CFTC Data Flips Positioning

Speculative traders in U.S. corn futures have shifted from a net short to a net long stance, according to the latest data on CFTC Corn speculative net positions updated on 27 February 2026. The indicator moved from a previous reading of -7.8K contracts to a current level of 8.8K contracts.

The move into positive territory suggests that speculative market participants, such as hedge funds and other large traders, have modestly increased their bullish exposure to corn. While the net long of 8.8K is not extreme by historical standards, the reversal from a negative to a positive position may signal changing expectations around U.S. corn market dynamics and price prospects in the near term.
