ReutersJan 29, 2026 8:23 PM

- Chicago Board of Trade corn futures traded near flat on Thursday with support from a recent weaker dollar. Export sales were near trade expectations, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

  • The USDA reported net U.S. corn export sales last week at 1,648,921 metric tons, down from a multi-year high a week earlier, but in line with trade estimates.

  • The dollar has been under pressure for several reasons, including expectations of continued Federal Reserve rate cuts, tariff uncertainty and U.S. policy volatility.

  • CBOT March corn CH26 closed up 3/4 cent at $4.30-3/4 per bushel.
