Short covering, bargain buying lift CBOT corn from contract lows
ReutersJul 14, 2025 6:46 PM
CHICAGO, July 14 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade corn futures finished higher on Monday as short covering and bargain buying lifted the market from contract lows, traders said.
Favorable U.S. crop weather and expectations for a large harvest limited gains.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to hold its rating of the nation's corn crop steady near a historical high in a weekly report due at 3 p.m. CDT (2000 GMT).
The United States appears well on its way to a record corn crop, though the top exporter is not completely immune to yield barriers from here.
Traders also monitored U.S. President Donald Trump's escalating tariff threats.
New-crop CBOT December corn CZ25 ended up 5-3/4 cents at $4.18 a bushel.
