How to interpret Corn positioning
What the contract represents
CBOT Corn futures represent 5,000 bushels of deliverable corn.
Categories traders monitor
Managed Money is compared with Producer/Merchant/Processor/User positions, whose members may include growers, elevators, processors and end users with distinct exposures.
Interpretation considerations
Planting, weather, yield, exports, ethanol demand and the crop-year calendar make seasonal comparisons important.
Important limitations
Producer/Merchant does not mean a single directional hedge, and spread positions remain separate from outright net positioning.
