USDA announced new export sales of 1,729,740 tonnes of corn to Mexico, split between 2026/27 and 2027/28 deliveries, and 136,000 tonnes of soybeans to China for 2026/27 delivery. The sales were reported by private US exporters through USDA's daily sales reporting system.
Confirmed Chinese soybean purchases and Mexican corn demand support US export flows, but the volumes are small relative to the market, so the price effect is modest.
After 729 past bullish trade events, CORN moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
After 696 past bullish trade events, SOY moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +0.7% over 20.
