U.S. corn export shipments rose 86% week on week to 1 million tons in the week ended October 29, 2026, although they remained 4% below the prior four-week average. Mexico was the largest destination, taking 628,200 tons; new export sales totaled 1.3 million tons, 10% above the four-week average.
The strong weekly shipments and above-average new sales point to firm export demand, supporting U.S. corn prices, while shipments still below the recent average temper the signal.
