USDA export sales reporting showed private exporters sold 264,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to China and 100,000 metric tons of corn to Colombia, plus 165,735 metric tons of corn to Mexico, all for the 2024/25 marketing year. These are routine flash sales notifications.
New-crop bookings from China and Mexico support US export demand and modestly underpin corn and soybean prices, though the volumes are small relative to total trade.
After 747 past bullish report events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.1%), and +0.8% over 20.
After 1,040 past bullish report events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.9% to +2.0%), and +0.8% over 20.
