TRADERS TAKE PROFITS IN CORN ETCS
ETF Securities’ agriculture ETCs have seen their seventh consecutive week of outflows as traders rushed to take profits. Supply side problems continue to support prices and investors have taken advantage of rising prices to reduce their positions. Outflows over the past seven weeks have totalled $313m with last week accounting for $31m. The outflows are concentrated in ETF Securities’ corn ETC, which saw the largest outflow in over two years at $13m. This was followed by ETF Securities’ sugar ETF at $6m of outflows.
