Corn futures slip 1–2 cents by Friday midday
US corn futures are softer midday, pressured by sharp wheat losses and a weaker cash market. NOAA's 7-day outlook shows limited rainfall across much of the Corn Belt, which could raise late-season crop uncertainty but is not offsetting current spillover selling. Export commitments remain strong at 103% of USDA's projection, with new-crop sales running ahead of last year, offering some demand support.
