Today we're diving into the freshest corn market updates, straight from the latest reports to keep you in the know on prices, trends, and what it all means for your trades. First up, the current trading prices as of this morning. May 2026 corn futures closed at $4.65 and a quarter per bushel yesterday, up four and a half cents, and they're ticking up another cent or so in early trade. July futures settled at $4.75 and a half, up six and a quarter cents, while December hit $4.95 and three quarters, also gaining six and a quarter cents. Nearby cash corn averaged $4.32 and a quarter, jumping seven cents. These numbers come from Barchart and USDA futures settlements, showing steady gains spilling over from wheat support. News is buzzing with bullish signals. Corn futures just smashed a one-year high, fueled by strong export demand and weather worries, according to Investing.com. Funds are piling into net-long positions at over 551,000 contracts, echoing mid-2020 vibes ahead of a potential rally, as DTN Progressive Farmer reports. US planting is ahead at 25% complete, six points faster than the five-year average, with big states like Illinois and Indiana leading the pack. Globally, Mysteel notes national corn prices holding stable in a range-bound move amid unchanged supply and demand. In Europe, prices are climbing on freight and fertilizer costs, making US and Brazilian corn more competitive than Ukraine's. Brazil's safrinha crop faces dry spells in key southern states, per Advance Trading, which could tighten supplies later. Key takeaway: Watch tomorrow's weekly export sales, expected at 150,000 tonnes old crop and 100,000 new. With open interest rising and new contract highs in December corn, volatility might pick up into harvest. Thanks for tuning in, friends.
