DTN Closing Corn Comments
Darin Newsom DTN Sr Analyst
December corn closed down 3 cents Tuesday with scattered showers stretched
from eastern Kansas across the eastern Midwest, heavy in some spots like Kansas
City where flooding occurred. The Midwest is not expecting much rain the next
seven days while the better chances are across the southern U.S. Temperatures
are expected to stay mild through the end of August. Late Monday, USDA said 76%
of corn had reached dough stage and 29% was dented, down from the five-year
average of 35% dented for this time of year. 62% of corn was rated either good
or excellent, the same as a week ago. 14% of Illinois corn rated poor or very
poor, up from 11% last week. While this year's corn crop is slower to develop,
there is no threat of early freeze seen in the current fall forecast. For now,
December corn continues to trickle to new lows in 2017, in line with its
seasonal tendency and anticipating a corn harvest near 14 billion bushels this
fall. DTN's National Corn Index closed at $3.12 Monday, priced 37 cents below
the September contract and at a new 2017 low. In outside markets, the September
U.S. dollar index is up 0.48 with financial traders waiting to see if the
Federal Reserve Chairman gives any interest rate hints at Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, on Friday.
