CORN Strategies Snapshot

TREND: The trend in December corn is sideways.

NONCOMMERCIAL OUTLOOK: Noncommercial traders held 204,857 net-shorts in corn as of April 16, an increase of 14,666 contracts on the week as prices stayed in a narrow, sideways range.

The December contract is priced 12 3/4 cents below the March 2025 contract, a bearish indication of commercial demand for new-crop corn.
