Dollar Strength, Improved Crop Ratings Push Corn Futures Lower

Corn futures took a hit as a stronger US dollar weighed on prices and improved crop ratings provided some respite.

The dollar's rise made imports cheaper, which in turn reduced demand for corn, causing prices to drop. The improved crop ratings also suggested that the current supply of corn is sufficient, reducing concerns about price hikes.
