On the positive side, corn export sales for 2023-2024 to date of nearly 1.192 billion bushels were 37.6% above a year earlier. Also, weekly corn export shipments of 40.8 million bushels were up 14.0 million from a week earlier.
“USDA did have some good export news for the corn market today as it reported that exporters sold 175,000 metric tons of U.S. corn to Mexico for 2023-2024 delivery. This was USDA’s first daily export sales announcement since Dec. 19.”
