Speculative interest in U.S. soybeans has strengthened notably, with CFTC data showing net long positions climbing to 175.6K, up from 125.4K previously. The latest figures, updated on 24 July 2026, point to a marked increase in bullish sentiment among traders.

The 50.2K rise in net speculative longs suggests that market participants are positioning more aggressively for higher soybean prices.
