Hedge Funds Still Very Bearish on Corn
\nAugust 10, 2020<\/h5>\n

Despite the concerns in the US and China for this year\u2019s corn crop because of high temperatures and dampness that stunt the growth of corn plants, the Hedge Funds are still bearish on corn prices. In mid-May the Funds were net short about 250,00 contract and now are less so, net short about 100,000.\u00a0 However, they are at a record net short compared to their positions during this week of the year versus previous years. We would not be surprised to see the Funds increase their net short positions as prices weaken, and then the increase in the net short positions would further pressure prices.<\/p>\n
