Corn futures rose 1 to 4 cents on Friday after USDA reported a private export sale of 303,800 MT to Mexico. Weekly export sales showed 2.88 MMT of 2026/27 corn sold in the week ending November 5, a marketing-year high, and CONAB kept its Brazil corn estimate at 148 MMT.
Strong export demand tightens the US corn balance sheet and supports futures and cash prices. Brazil's unchanged crop estimate limits competing export supply, which is supportive for corn-based feed ingredients.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
