Wheat (CBOT)
Neutralagriculture · Last COT: 2026-08-25
This page combines weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders positioning for Wheat (CBOT) 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 (90th percentile).
Crowd risk

Price context

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
A weaker dollar makes US agricultural exports more competitive globally, supporting grain and soft commodity prices.
A stronger Brazilian real makes Brazilian exports (sugar, coffee, soybeans) more expensive, supporting global prices. A weaker real is bearish.
A high soybean/corn ratio incentivizes farmers to plant more soybeans and less corn, affecting future supply dynamics for both crops.
Elevated market volatility can disrupt trade flows and financing, creating uncertainty for agricultural commodity prices.
