China made two large corn purchases in the same week that US and Chinese officials were set to meet. Private exporters reported sales of 1.224 million mt of corn for delivery to China in the 2020/21 marketing year.

Continued Chinese buying of US corn tightens export supplies and supports prices. Expected dryness in Brazil's safrinha crop could also keep export competition limited.
