The commentary says corn funds moved to a net short position of 125 million bushels, while export inspections reached 34.8 million bushels, well below the 66.9 million weekly pace needed to meet USDA's shipment target. It also reports that U.S. corn harvest was 74% complete, compared with a five-year average of 77%, and that soybean export inspections totaled 89.8 million bushels, including 56 million shipped to China from previously announced sales.
Corn shipments running below the pace needed to reach USDA's target suggest weaker export demand and weigh on prices, while an already large fund short position may limit additional selling. Recent soybean inspections provide support, but reliance on previously announced sales and substantial fund liquidation temper the demand outlook.
