Corn - Summary

Corn futures held around $4.5 per bushel, trading close to their lowest level since August as the rapidly advancing US harvest pressured prices. According to the USDA’s weekly report, 60% of the corn crop had been harvested as of October 25, six percentage points behind the five-year average. However, drier weather is expected to help fieldwork pick up pace, potentially increasing available supplies and intensifying competition in global export markets. The USDA’s forecast for the 2026/27 US corn marketing year points to record production of 16.03 billion bushels and ending stocks of 1.849 billion bushels. Meanwhile, USDA export inspections fell nearly 49% week over week to 672,475 metric tons for the week ended October 15, the lowest since October 2024, while marketing-year shipments were 2.3% below the same period last year. However, US corn export sales for the 2026/27 marketing year rose 36% week over week to 60.1 million bushels, exceeding analysts’ expectations.

Corn Futures Hit Two-Month Low
Corn futures fell around $4.5 per bushel, near their lowest level in more than two months as weak export shipments and US harvest pressure outweighed stronger new-crop sales. USDA data showed US corn export sales for the 2026/27 marketing year rose 36% week over week to 60.1 million bushels in the week ended October 15, exceeding analysts' estimates and signaling solid demand for future deliveries. However, export inspections plunged nearly 49% to 672,475 metric tons, marking the lowest weekly total since October 2024 and highlighting a slowdown in actual shipments. The US harvest reached 44% completion as of October 18, up from 33% a week earlier, with dry weather across much of the Midwest expected to help fieldwork advance.
