Corn Futures Market News and Commentary

Corn Comes Out of the Weekend on a Lower Note

Corn is continuing the slide from weaker Friday action early on Monday, with losses of 3 to 5 cents. The corn market was pressured on Friday, as contracts were 4 to 8 cents lower across most months. March closed out the week with a 5 cent loss. CmdtyView’s national average Cash Corn price was down 6 ¾ cents at $4.59 1/2. 

Commitment of Traders data from CFTC showed spec funds in corn futures and options adding 21,144 contracts to their net long in the week ending on February 18. That took their position to 353,533 contracts. Commercials added another 22,352 contracts to their net short, at 638,930 contracts. 

The Friday morning Export Sales report indicated 1.454 MMT of corn sold during the week that ended on February 13. Total export commitments are now 47.87 MMT, up 29% from last year. That is 77% of USDA’s export projection, 3 percentage points ahead of the average pace.
