NIA has just published a brand new chart of the 25 stocks/commodities with the largest short positions. For commodities, we are using the latest managed money short positions based on CFTC COT data. Currently, hedge funds are short $4.34 billion in corn futures, which gives corn futures the 12th largest short position out of all stocks/commodities.

The only commodity/metal with a larger managed money short position is gold at $7.82 billion, but gold has a much larger market than corn. Corn's managed money short position of $4.34 billion is now far larger than WTI crude oil at $3.59 billion and silver at $3.28 billion. Most shockingly, while hedge funds on a net basis are currently long $27.21 billion worth of gold futures, $14.05 billion worth of WTI crude oil futures, and $5.2 billion worth of silver futures... hedge funds are net short $1.06 billion worth of corn futures! Corn is the only major commodity that currently has a net short managed money position!
