Speculators have sharply increased their bullish exposure to U.S. soybeans, with CFTC-reported net positions rising to 191.8K contracts, up from 146.3K previously. The latest data, updated on 20 February 2026, underscore growing investor optimism around the soybean market.

The jump in speculative net longs suggests that market participants are positioning for potentially higher prices or tighter market conditions ahead. The move from 146.3K to 191.8K contracts represents a notable acceleration in positive sentiment, as investors add to long positions or pare back shorts.

While the data do not reveal the exact drivers behind the shift, the scale of the increase signals that soybeans have become a more favored play among speculative traders, and the futures market will now be closely watched for whether this momentum continues or reverses in coming weeks.
