Funds did not sell nearly as much #corn through Aug. 13 as was predicted. Mega-buying in #soyoil (funds now long), and they were still long CBOT #wheat

(Aug 6 ➡️ Aug 13): 


Corn 79,507 ➡️  44,513

#Soybeans -72,813 ➡️  -66,450

Image


Soyoil -37,075 ➡️  +10,329 CBOT


Image


wheat 6,219 ➡️  4,088

Image


This is what funds did after the Tuesday deadline for this report:


Daily fund estimates collected by Reuters suggest the following activity in futures only between Wed-Fri:

#Corn -9k

#Soybeans -7.5k CBOT

 #wheat +1.5k 

Soyoil -1.75k 

Soymeal -4.25k

So they were net sellers, except for wheat.

Funds hit a new record short in Minne #wheat through Aug. 13 (5th week in a row they did that). They also sold lean #hogs.  Here's the summary of activity through August 13 from Reuters.
