CORN

Corn futures ended higher. CZ ended near 5.17. Range was 4.97 to 5.24. Some might say that the corn market may have bought the fact after spending most of August selling the rumor. Trade was looking for USDA to raise US corn and sorghum 2021 acres, corn yield, US 20/21 and 21/22 corn carryout and World 21/22 corn end stocks. That is what the USDA gave them. Recent selling was due to damage the US gulf Hurricane did to US grain export elevators. There is word that 3 elevators may soon be operational with 2 more later this month. Outlook for remaining 7 is still unknown Fact the POTUS and POC talked last night about trade may have helped corn prices. USDA  lowered US 20/21 ethanol and export use.
