Corn futures dropped 4–5 cents on April 7, 2026, with cash prices falling to $4.10½, as traders reduced risk exposure amid geopolitical uncertainty tied to US-Iran ceasefire talks. US corn planting reached 3%, exceeding the five-year average of 2%, with all reporting states ahead of schedule, per Monday’s Crop Progress report. Analysts anticipate Thursday’s WASDE report to raise US corn carryout projections by 3 million bushels to 2.13 billion bushels, reflecting stable supply expectations. Brazil’s March corn exports rose 12.82% year-over-year to 983,029 metric tons but declined 36.67% from February, signaling volatile trade flows. Ethanol production data, due Wednesday, is expected to rebound after last week’s dip, potentially influencing corn demand dynamics ahead of the WASDE update.
