U.S. corn opens August lower as September slips 5 cents to $4.4075 a bushel
AI Market Summary
U.S. corn futures and cash prices opened August weaker, pressured by spillover softness from wheat, improved Midwest rainfall, and month-end positioning. Brazilian second-crop harvest progress (69%) and higher supply expectations reinforce the near-term bearish tone. While managed money previously increased net length, falling open interest suggests some long liquidation, adding to downside pressure across grain markets.
