# Mexico’s 1.73M-Ton Corn Buy: Could a Rally Follow?

> Mexico booked 1.73 million metric tons of US corn in a one-day flash sale, including 1.14 million tons for 2026-27 and 594,360 tons for 2027-28. It bought another 315,000 tons the following day, after US corn futures had fallen sharply alongside a higher USDA yield estimate.

## Why it matters

The sizeable bookings add export demand for US corn across two marketing years and could lend support to futures, particularly after the recent price decline. The article also notes that past large flash sales have sometimes preceded rallies, though that pattern is not a guarantee.
