Saxo's Commitments of Traders update for the week to October 13 shows speculators raised gross dollar longs 27% to an 11-week high. Managed money cut metals exposure, and grain longs fell for a fourth straight week after a bearish USDA WASDE report.
Heavy speculative dollar buying raises reversal risk, while shrinking grain longs signal fund selling pressure on corn and other feed grains. This is a positioning report rather than a new supply event.
After 1,102 past bearish report events, CORN moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
After 53 past bullish report events, DXY moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.5%), and +0.5% over 20.
