Corn Investment Chart Overview
CFTC Corn Futures Positions (Speculative)
The Non-Commercials (Long/Short) chart shows the size of buy (long) and sell (short) positions held by big players who trade mainly for investment. If longs increase, it generally means more traders expect prices to rise; if shorts increase, it generally means more traders expect prices to fall.
CFTC Corn Futures Positions (Managed Money)
The Managed Money (Long/Short) chart focuses only on professional managers such as funds/hedge funds within those big players. It helps you see more clearly whether the “core money” moving the market is leaning bullish (more longs) or bearish (more shorts).

Corn ethanol is a biofuel made from corn and used mainly by blending it with gasoline. In the chart, the blue line (production) generally stays above the orange line (consumption), which means corn ethanol supply in the U.S. market has remained relatively stable.
Because export inspections are released before export volume data, investors can view them as an early signal of whether exports are actually moving. The export volume data released later can then be understood as an indicator that confirms whether that trend turned into actual results.
This chart shows U.S. corn sales that have already been contracted but not yet shipped. A higher level means more export volume is still waiting to go out, while a lower level can mean shipments have moved out or fewer new contracts are building up.
This chart shows how many U.S. corn export contracts are coming in for next season. A higher value means buyers are purchasing more of next season’s supply in advance, while a lower value means pre-orders are lighter.
