Corn Posts Net Loss for Week

Despite the strength to start the week, the Thursday and Friday selloff flipped the board to a net loss for the week. Futures were down another 4% to 4.9% on Friday, leaving both July and Dec 9 1/2 cents lower from Friday to Friday. A mixed weather outlook drove “risk off” trading on Friday. 

The weekly Ethanol report quoted cash market values from $2.42 to $2.55 regionally, mostly 7 to 12 cents/gal higher. The DDGS were quoted mostly $5 to $20 higher from $200 in IA to $225/ton in MO. Corn oil cash quotes ranged 58 to 63 cents/lb, and were mostly steady to 3 cents higher for the week.
