A little past 8:30 a.m. CT, May corn was up 2½¢ at $4.60¼ per bushel.

On Monday, USDA is expected to release the annual Prospective Plantings report, which will include estimates for 2025/2026 corn, soybean, and wheat acres, and the quarterly Grain Stocks report.
“The odds of a market-moving surprise in these numbers are high this year — in either direction,” said Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist at StoneX. “The stocks reports are known for their market-moving surprises, and the ranges of expectations for acreage are wide this year as well. This just adds one more unknown for the grain and oilseed markets, keeping them in a choppy sideways trading range as we move through this week’s trade.”
