Corn futures were modestly higher Monday morning after closing Friday slightly up, while managed money shifted to a net-short position in the week through November 3. Traders were awaiting Tuesday’s USDA crop and supply-demand reports; the article also cited a private sale of 101,000 metric tons of 2026/27 corn to unknown destinations and a lower Ukrainian crop estimate from APK-Inform.
The reported export sale adds a small demand signal, while the large managed-money short position and expectations for a substantial U.S. crop may limit gains. USDA estimates could reset expectations for production and ending stocks.
