How to read it. Funds are managed money (hedge funds and CTAs). The shaded band is the middle 80% of weekly readings over 12 years (the history this market's COT holds); outside it, the position is unusual for this market. Heavy fund length leaves fewer new buyers, and it has to be unwound one day.

How to read it. The crop calendar decides whether a reading is news: rain matters at flowering, dryness helps at harvest. Stress z is the mean water-stress z-score of the last three dekads (positive = drier); inside ±0.5 is near normal. Conilon in Espírito Santo is heavily irrigated, which loosens its link to rainfall.
