Liquidation Risk

agriculture · Last COT: 2026-08-25

This page combines weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders positioning for Sugar No. 11 futures with seasonality, price context, and macro indicators. Percentiles show where the latest net position sits relative to its recent history; extremes can reveal crowded or washed-out positioning, but they are context rather than a standalone trade signal.

At a glance

A reading of the inputs, not a trade recommendation.

Net positioning

Managed Money net positioning is high versus the last two years (100th percentile).

Crowd risk

Liquidation Risk

Gross long exposure is not at the dashboard's concentration threshold.

Price context

Price sits 100% through its 52-week range, without a flagged price-positioning divergence.

Seasonality and macro

Neutral seasonal bias for week 35. Macro is mixed.

Compare these inputs together. A low net-position percentile can coexist with high gross-long concentration, and price or macro can point in a different direction.

Macro Context

Mixed
COT × Macro Alignment: COT positioning is at a 2-year high (100th percentile — crowded long) while macro is Mixed.
DXY (USD Index)
99.68+0.52 (+0.5%)

A weaker dollar makes US agricultural exports more competitive globally, supporting grain and soft commodity prices.

USD/BRL
5.21+0.06 (+1.1%)

A stronger Brazilian real makes Brazilian exports (sugar, coffee, soybeans) more expensive, supporting global prices. A weaker real is bearish.

Soybean/Corn Ratio
2.40-0.06 (-2.5%)

A high soybean/corn ratio incentivizes farmers to plant more soybeans and less corn, affecting future supply dynamics for both crops.

VIX
14.43-0.08 (-0.6%)
