- Chicago Board of Trade corn futures eased, but brisk export demand kept a floor under prices, as did worries about potentially stressful hot weather in crop areas of Argentina.

  • CBOT March corn CH26 settled down 2 cents at $4.21-3/4 per bushel.

  • Limited and scattered rainfall in Argentina's Pampas region for most of January could weigh on the country's 2025/26 corn crop, following several weeks with little to no precipitation, a meteorologist said on Thursday.

  • The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported exporters sold 150,000 metric tons of corn to Colombia for 2025/2026 delivery.

  • The agency reported exporters sold 195,000 tons of corn to unknown destinations for 2025/2026 delivery.
