# Corn futures may open higher on weaker dollar

> CBOT corn futures were expected to open 1–2 cents higher as a weaker dollar improved the competitiveness of US crops. StoneX had raised its US corn and soybean harvest estimates, while traders awaited next week's USDA estimates and weekly export-sales data. Wheat was also expected to open higher, although stronger Black Sea export expectations continued to weigh on it; Ukrainian rail grain exports rose 26% month over month in October to 1.08 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar can boost export competitiveness, lending modest support to US corn, while higher crop estimates point to greater supply and may limit gains. Increased Ukrainian grain movement adds to wheat export availability and weighs on wheat prices.
