22.05.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Trim Corn Bets as Net Long Positions Ease to 358.1K in Latest CFTC Data

Speculative interest in U.S. corn futures has softened, with net long positions edging down in the latest reporting period. According to data updated on 22 May 2026, CFTC Corn speculative net positions slipped to 358.1K from a previous level of 383.5K.

The decline in net longs suggests that speculative traders have become somewhat less bullish on corn compared with the prior period, either by reducing long exposure or increasing short positions. While the overall stance remains net long, the moderation in positioning may reflect shifting expectations around supply, demand, or broader market sentiment in the U.S. grain complex.

Market participants will be watching upcoming reports and price action closely to see whether this pullback in speculative length marks the start of a more cautious phase in corn trading or simply a pause after previously elevated positioning.
