“Since First Notice Day of the July contract, the corn market has posted a nice recovery rally. December corn has added 32 cents in the past four sessions. The strong technical price close on Monday leaves more potential upside room going into the night session,” John Heinberg of Total Farm Marketing said. “USDA released corn export inspections this morning. For the week ending July 2, U.S. exporters shipped 1.642 MMT of corn. This was slightly above market expectations. Total export shipments are running 25% ahead of last year’s pace, and export sales are at the highest totals ever for the 2025-26 marketing year.”
