Corn Futures Market News and Commentary

Corn Collapses on Monday as USDA Hikes Production

Barchart - Mon Jan 12, 5:11PM CST

Corn futures extended the losses following the USDA data release on Monday, as futures closed with 22 to 24 ¼ cents in the front months. Deferred contracts were down 5 to 14 ½ cents. The CmdtyView national average Cash Corn price was down 24 cents at $3.83 1/4.

A private export sale announcement of 204,000 MT of corn was announced to South Korea this morning by USDA, with another 310,000 MT of corn sold to unknown destinations. That news was buried by other not so friendly USDA reports.

USDA’s Crop Production report from this morning showed US corn yield at 186.5 bpa, which was a 0.5 bpa increase from the November report. Acres were up 1.3 million on the harvested side to 91.3 million acres. That took the production number to 17.021 bbu, up 269 mbu from November.

The quarterly Grain Stocks report tallied December 1 corn stocks at 13.282 bbu. That was well above the average of analysts surveyed at 12.962 bbu, and 1.207 bbu above a year ago.
