Corn futures rose 5-7 cents on March 19, 2026, with the national average cash price climbing 6¼ cents to $4.26¼, reflecting strong market momentum. Export sales for the week ending March 12 hit 1.17 MMT of old-crop corn, within estimates but down 13.4% from the prior week and 11.7% year-over-year, signaling softened demand. New-crop corn sales totaled just 12,000 MT, aligning with low estimates (0-100,000 MT), indicating limited forward contracting activity amid market uncertainty. The International Grains Council raised 2025/26 ending stocks by 1 MMT to 306 MMT, citing a 7 MMT production increase and 4 MMT higher usage, balancing supply concerns. December 2026 corn futures reached $4.94¼, up 4½ cents, while new-crop cash prices rose to $4.52¼, suggesting cautious optimism for future market stability.
