  • Corn Futures Slip Amid Strong Export Sales
    March 21, 2026, 12:35 AM EDT. Corn futures dropped 3 to 4 cents on Friday, with the front-month contracts retreating amid steady export demand. The national average cash corn price fell around 3.75 cents to $4.23 per bushel. Export sales data showed marketing-year commitments reached 67.658 million metric tons (MMT), up 30% year-on-year and tracking closely to USDA targets. Shipments totaled 43.46 MMT, outperforming the typical pace at 52% of USDA projections. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange reported Argentina's corn harvest 13% completed. May 2026 corn prices slipped to $4.66, while December contracts edged down to $4.90. Market watchers note strong export fundamentals but a cautious tone as prices fade lightly ahead of further crop updates.
