Money managers were not as long in corn but were much more long than expected for soybeans, soybean oil, meal and Chicago wheat. This comes after they reduced long positions for the major agricultural commodities for the week ending 6/15. We see this as slightly supportive, but with the one business day in reporting, some traders may look past the positions as we are four trading days beyond actual data.
