Speculative traders in U.S. corn futures have significantly reduced their bearish exposure, with net positions moving from -18.3K to -7.8K, according to data updated on 20 February 2026 by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The shift in CFTC Corn speculative net positions suggests that while speculators remain net short, negative sentiment has eased notably compared with the previous reading. A narrowing net short position often reflects changing expectations around supply-demand dynamics, weather risks, or price outlooks, and may signal that some traders are scaling back bets on further price declines.

Market participants will be watching upcoming crop reports, export data, and macroeconomic indicators to gauge whether this move marks the beginning of a more sustained repositioning in corn or a temporary adjustment after an extended period of bearish positioning.
