Corn Futures Market News and Commentary

Corn Bulls Helped Out By Export Sales to Kick Off November

Corn futures closed out the Friday session with most contracts steady to 3 ¾ cents higher. That was led by December, which cut down the weekly loss to just ¾ cent. The national average Cash Corn price from cmdtyView was up 6 1/2 cents at $3.85 3/4 per bu. 

The monthly Grain Crushing report from NASS was released this afternoon, showing 440.16 mbu of corn used for ethanol production during September. That was up 2.74% from last year and a 6-year high but down 8.2% from August. 

CFTC data from this afternoon showed spec funds in corn futures and options cutting 53,796 contracts from their net short position as of October 29. That took the net position to just -17,703 contracts, which is the smallest since August 2023. Commercials were busy adding 62,578 contracts to their net short, at 218,155 contracts by Tuesday. Much of that was additional shorts (798,161 contracts), now at the largest total in over 18 months.
