U.S. corn futures were steady to slightly higher Friday morning after falling 1–4¼ cents on Thursday. USDA reported 1.295 million tonnes of 2026/27 corn sales for the week ended October 29, down 35.1% from the same week a year earlier; traders are positioning ahead of next week’s crop report, where analysts expect a modest yield reduction.
Slower export sales are a demand headwind, while expectations for a smaller U.S. crop offer some supply support. The competing signals and limited morning movement point to a mostly neutral near-term price effect.
