On the Corn Front Ag report showed weather modules EU and GFS Ensemble are in general agreement that the pattern of well below normal precipitation stays in place across the Great Lakes into the Midwest into June 10th at least. There are hints of more expansive pattern of rainfall thereafter, but confidence stays low. It all depends on the jet stream in early summer, but there is no doubt there will be a need for rainfall east of the Mississippi River beyond the next two weeks. Zero rain is projected across the principal Corn Belt in the next 10 days. ARC notes that additional soil moisture improvement occurs in Texas, Oklahoma, Western Kansas, and for West Nebraska. Lite but lingering rainfall triggers cumulative precipitation .05-3.00”. The heaviest totals favor Western Kansas and Texas-Oklahoma Panhandles. Monday’s CBOT corn open interest data showed gains of 8,429 contracts amid the sharp rally which reflects capital inflows. Crop Progress showed corn was 66% planted. Export Inspections at 52 million bushels were above expectations and above the 47 million needed per week to reach the USDA forecast of 1.775 billion year-to-date inspections at 1,078 billion down 33% from a year ago vs. the USDA forecast of down 28%. Roughly 12.5 million bushels were destined for China. In the overnight electronic session the July corn is currently trading at 577 which is 6 cents higher. The trading range has been 577 ½ to 564.
