⚡ Quantum Brief
Corn futures surged Friday, closing up 4 to 7¾ cents across contracts, with July 2024 at $4.11¼, as limited rainfall forecasts for the Western Corn Belt raised supply concerns. Old-crop corn export sales hit a 12-week low at 357,152 metric tons—34% below prior-week levels and under analyst estimates—with unknown buyers and Colombia as top purchasers. New-crop sales reached 311,538 metric tons, exceeding expectations, driven by Mexico’s 301,800-ton purchase, signaling stronger future demand despite current weak old-crop performance. Brazil’s June corn exports fell 17.7% year-over-year to 850,892 metric tons, reflecting global supply shifts and potential market opportunities for U.S. producers amid tightening conditions. Cash prices rose alongside futures, with nearby cash at $3.97¼ and new-crop cash at $3.85⅝, reinforcing the rally’s broad market impact ahead of the weekend.
