Corn Trade Holds Steady on Wednesday

Corn futures closed out the Wednesday session with most contracts within ½ cent of unchanged, as just nearby Dec was up ¼ cent. The national average Cash Corn price from cmdtyView was steady today at $3.88 1/4 per bu.

USDA reported a private export sale of 126,000 MT of 24/25 corn to unknown destinations this morning. Ahead of the Thursday morning Export Sales report, traders surveyed by Reuters expect to see between 0.9 to 1.7 MMT in corn bookings for 2024/25 during the week that ended on 10/3. 

Weekly EIA data showed an increase of 23,000 barrels per day in the week that ended on October 4 to 1.038 million bpd. Despite the increased production, stocks fall 1.305 million barrels to 22.154 million barrels, which is the largest weekly draw since January. Refiner inputs of ethanol were up 4,000 bpd to 912,000 bpd, as gasoline product supplied (implied use) was the largest since December 2021 at 9.65 million barrels per day.
