Corn futures are trading with 6 to 8 cent gains so far on Friday following friendlier then expected USDA data. There were 12 deliveries issued against July overnight. The CmdtyView national average Cash Corn price is 6 cents higher at $4.06 3/4.
The monthly WASDE report from this morning showed US corn stocks for 2025/26 down 125 mbu from last month to 2.02 bbu. That was mainly due to a 150 mbu increase to feed and residual and a 25 mbu cut to ethanol. New crop carryout saw a larger than expected drop, down 170 mbu to 1.790 bbu, due to the lower carryover and a 50 mbu increase in exports.
