12.06.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Slash Corn Bets as CFTC Net Long Positions Nearly Halve in Latest Data

Speculative interest in U.S. corn futures has cooled sharply, with net long positions dropping to 103.6K contracts, down from 199.9K previously, according to the latest Commitments of Traders (CFTC) data updated on 12 June 2026.

The steep pullback in net speculative length suggests a significant shift in sentiment among managed money and other speculative traders, who have reduced their overall bullish exposure to the corn market. While the figures do not explain the drivers behind the move, the near-halving of net long positions indicates increased caution and a more neutral stance compared with the prior reporting period.

Market participants will be watching subsequent CFTC releases closely to see whether this marks the start of a longer-term repositioning in corn or a short-term adjustment in speculative risk-taking. For now, the latest data underscore a notable retreat in speculative conviction on U.S. corn prices.
