CBOT corn ends firm ahead of long US holiday weekend
ReutersFeb 13, 2026 8:41 PM
CHICAGO, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade corn futures closed modestly higher on Friday, supported by position-squaring ahead of a long U.S. holiday weekend and brisk export demand for U.S. supplies, traders said.
CBOT March corn CH26 settled up 1/2 cent at $4.31-3/4 per bushel.
For the week, the contract ended up 1-1/2 cents per bushel or 0.35%.
Concerns about grain quality in China lent support, one broker said. Chinese buyers have ramped up feed grain purchases in recent months, taking large volumes of Australian barley and U.S. sorghum after rain damaged the domestic corn harvest, trade sources said.
U.S. markets and most government offices will be closed on Monday in observances of the Presidents Day holiday.
