March corn futures slipped 0.3% in early Chicago trading to $4.47 per bushel, as traders reacted to USDA export sales data showing weaker demand from Asian buyers. Technical charts suggest support at $4.42 and resistance at $4.52, with momentum indicators signaling short-term consolidation. Policy Kings received two $75,000 loans earlier this year from the Salt Lake City Department of Economic Development to help launch in the city. "As Utah's first Black-owned brewery, their move to Salt Lake City is an important milestone in our growing craft beer scene, and we couldn't be happier to support their expansion," Mayor Erin Mendenhall said in a statement last March announcing the loan. While Corn basis has also strengthened over the past month, the change has been less pronounced across the Midwest. Figure 3 shows Central Indiana’s corn basis to May futures. Similarly, Figure 4 shows the corn basis to May futures in Southwest Michigan. Since February 12th, the basis in Central Indiana has increased by $0.09/bu. to a marketing year high of -$0.18/bu. It strengthened by $0.21/bu. in Southwest Michigan to a marketing year high of -$0.41/bu. Once again, the basis movement was milder in Indiana. In both regions, historical trends suggest further strengthening over the next couple of weeks before declining as May futures expire. March corn futures rose 0.6% to $4.53 on fresh Chinese purchase rumors. While unofficial, volume spikes suggest overseas demand could be picking up. Traders eye the $4.60 technical breakout point as a potential bullish trigger in the near term.
