Corn Market Update: Prices Remain Stable

Corn futures are experiencing minimal movement this Friday, with midday trading showing some contracts slightly in the red. The national average cash corn price, as reported by CmdtyView, is holding steady at $4.07 1/2.

Following Thursday’s export sales data, U.S. corn export commitments have reached 50.895 million metric tons as of January 1, marking a 30% increase compared to the same period last year. This figure represents 63% of the USDA’s current export estimate for the marketing year, surpassing the typical sales pace of 61%. Actual exports now total 27.414 million metric tons, which is 34% of the USDA’s projection and ahead of the usual 24% shipping rate for this time of year.

Overnight, two importers from South Korea secured a combined 339,000 metric tons of corn through tender purchases.

The USDA is set to release its WASDE report on Monday. According to a Bloomberg poll, analysts anticipate corn stocks to be reported at 1.985 billion bushels, which would represent a decrease of 44 million bushels if confirmed.
