US corn export sales for 2026/27 last week totaled 113.4 million bushels (2.88 million metric tons), the largest weekly total since January and a record for the comparable week, according to StoneX. An additional 23.4 million bushels were sold for 2027/28, with Mexico among the buyers.
Strong forward sales show firm foreign demand for US corn, which supports prices and tightens the export balance. The scale of sales is a meaningful bullish signal.
