Corn COT Report
The Commitment of Traders (COT) report shows how the largest traders are positioned in Corn futures each week. The CFTC splits open interest into speculators (managed money) and commercial hedgers, so you can see who is leaning which way. Tracking when Corn speculative positioning reaches an extreme, and how speculators line up against commercials, is one of the most widely followed sentiment tools in futures.
In grains, commercials are farmers, elevators and grain merchants hedging the crop, so Corn positioning carries a strong seasonal and weather signature that speculative flows amplify.
How to read Corn positioning
A 52-week z-score measures how stretched Corn speculative positioning is versus the past year: a high positive reading means speculators are crowded long, a deeply negative one means crowded short. Crowded extremes often precede reversals, while the positioning regime tells you whether the current structure is trending or stretched. New to this? Start with how to read the COT report.
