Managed Money also cut the number of short positions held, down to 74.8k from 84k the week before. Corn – Managed money increased their bullish position in corn last week, increasing the number of long contracts held to the largest number held since May. Short positions in corn were also cut, down to 27.5k contracts, the smallest number held since the start of June.
