Corn Futures Market News and Commentary

Corn Closed Firm for Monday

The corn market initially tried for gains to start the week though faded back to close UNCH to fractionally lower. 

The weekly Export Inspections data showed 1.24 MMT of corn was shipped during the week that ended 3/14. That was up from 1.17 MMT the week prior and was slightly above the same week last year. USDA added 32k MT of corn exports to past weeks for a 23.1 MMT accumulated export as of 3/14. That remains 31% ahead of last year’s pace. 

Ukraine’s Ag Ministry reported grain shipments totaled 32.4 MMT, including 17.4 MMT of corn, for the season-to-date. That is 9.4% below last year, with corn shipments trailing last year’s pace by 17%. 

According to the traders at the BAGE, corn conditions in Argentina worsened last week, with the portion of the crop rated good/ex declining to 25% and the part rated poor/very poor increasing by the same 4 percentage points to 17%. Harvest for the late planted corn is just starting at around 3% completed.
