CORN
Corn futures traded lower. USDA rating of US 2021 corn crop was higher than expected. This and talk of lower US corn export basis triggered long liquidation. CN dropped from contract highs near 7.35 to a recent low near 6.02 on good US spring weather and talk that final US 2021 corn acres could increase to as high as 96.8 million versus USDA guess of 91.1. CN tested 6.96 before falling back to 6.75. USDA June 30 acreage update will be key to corn futures. One private crop watcher lowered their estimate of Brazil corn crop to 89 mmt from their May estimate of 100 and USDA 102. Brazil drought is the worse in 91 years. Most look for total China corn imports to be near 34 mmt versus USDA 26. Last week US corn exports to China was 1.0 mmt and all time high. Some est US corn crushers have good cash ownership but exports need corn. This weeks US ethanol production should continue to be up from last year and stocks should continue to drop. Weekly ethanol future chart are at highest levels since early 2014. US 10 weeks upper Midwest, north plains and PNW forecast remains warm and dry. In fact, our weather guy could see additional ridging and dry weather there after day 10. Key will be Pacific sea surface temps.
