USDA Exports: Three more flash sales announced on Tuesday

Private exporters announced three flash sales to USDA on Tuesday: 12.4 million bushels of corn to Mexico, 5.4 million bushels of corn to South Korea, and 4.9 million bushels of soybeans to China. All are for delivery in the 2026-27 marketing year, which began September 1.

WHY IT MATTERS

Steady flash sales show continued export demand for US corn and soybeans, which supports nearby prices modestly. The sizes are routine relative to the season, so the price effect is limited.
