Corn Futures Market News and Commentary

Corn Posting Gains to Round Out the Week

Corn futures are trading with contracts up 5 to 7 ¼ cents across most contracts on Friday. The CmdtyView national average Cash Corn price is higher on the day to $4.41 ¾. 

USDA reported a private export sale of 148,240 MT of corn to unknown destination this morning, with 78,240 MT for old crop and 70,000MT for new crop.

A large portion of the Corn Belt should be able to get some crop in the ground over the next 5 days. Day 6 and 7 of NOAA’s 7-day QPF shows 1 to 1.5 inches of rain expected in much of MO and the ECB.

Export Sales data has corn export commitments totaling 75.7 MMT as of April 23, a 29% increase from the same time last year. That is 90% of USDA’s export projection and behind the 93% average.

The US House of Representatives passed its version of the farm bill on Thursday without language that would allow E15 sales year around. The bill now moves onto the senate, with any E15 legislation pushed back to a separate vote sometime in May.
