Corn futures declined 3–4 cents across front-month contracts on Friday, with the national average cash price dropping to $4.23, reflecting bearish market sentiment. Export data showed marketing-year corn commitments at 67.658 MMT, up 30% year-over-year, meeting 81% of USDA’s export target—near the 82% historical average pace. Shipments reached 43.46 MMT, surpassing the 45% average pace and hitting 52% of USDA’s forecast, signaling stronger-than-expected demand despite price drops. Argentina’s corn harvest progressed to 13% completion, per the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, potentially easing global supply concerns amid U.S. price declines. May, July, and December 2026 contracts fell uniformly, with new-crop cash prices also retreating, reinforcing a broad downturn in corn markets.
