Corn - Summary

Corn futures fell around $5.2 per bushel, reaching a three-week low as broad selling across grain markets intensified following a sharp decline in soybeans. Soybeans came under pressure after China excluded them from proposed tariff reductions on US agricultural products, prompting traders to liquidate positions and weighing on corn through spillover selling. Corn itself was included in China’s proposed tariff cuts, along with other US agricultural products, but the agreement provided no fresh US corn purchase commitments. US corn export inspections totaled 1.57 million metric tons in the week ended September 24, down from 1.96 million tons a week earlier but near the upper end of market expectations. Meanwhile, the US harvest reached 18% completion as of September 27, slightly ahead of the five-year average, while 56% of the crop was rated good or excellent. Traders now await the USDA’s September 30 Grain Stocks report, which could bring fresh estimates on domestic supplies.

Corn Retreats from 3-Year Highs
Corn futures fell to toward $5.2 per bushel, pulling back from three-year highs as weak US export demand pressured the market. Corn export sales for the week ended September 17 came in at just 838,000 metric tons, at the lower end of analyst expectations, while total commitments for the 2026/27 marketing year were 29% below a year earlier. Wet conditions and rainfall across parts of the Midwest also continued to limit harvest activity, supporting crop basis levels, with cooler-than-average temperatures and above-normal rainfall expected across the Corn Belt over the next two weeks. Elsewhere, the latest US-China summit offered little progress on agricultural trade, while elevated Treasury yields and a stronger dollar weighed on grain markets by making US crops more expensive for overseas buyers. Meanwhile, USDA’s September outlook cut its 2026/27 US corn yield estimate to 178.5 bushels per acre and production to 15.8 billion bushels, pointing to a tighter supply outlook.

Corn Trades Near 3-Year Peak
Corn futures traded around $5.3 per bushel, near their highest level since July 2023, supported by strong US export demand, tightening global supplies and expectations for further agricultural trade with China. US corn export inspections jumped 40% year-on-year to 1.94 million tonnes in the week ended September 17, exceeding market expectations and lifting 2026/27 shipments further ahead of last year’s pace. Heavy Midwest rains are also delaying harvest in parts of the region, limiting the near-term flow of new supplies, although overall harvesting remains slightly ahead of the five-year average. Global fundamentals remain supportive, with USDA projecting a nearly 30-million-tonne shortfall between world corn production and consumption in 2026/27, the largest deficit in more than three decades. Traders are also watching the Trump-Xi meeting this week for potential progress on US agricultural purchases, while continued disruptions to Black Sea grain trade are adding support.
