CHICAGO, July 22 (Reuters) -Chicago Board of Trade corn futures turned higher on short-covering and spillover strength from soybean futures on Monday, as market participants unwound short positions placed in anticipation of a possible second Trump presidency, traders said.

The rally in corn futures was capped as forecasters are calling for near-ideal weather as the U.S. corn crop moves through its key reproductive phase, traders said.
CBOT September corn CU24 settled up 9-3/4 cents at $4.00-1/4 per bushel and most-active December CZ24 corn ended up 10-1/4 cents at $4.15 per bushel.
Traders said they spent much of the day adjusting positions ahead of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly crop progress report set to be released later on Monday.
USDA is expected to rate 68% of the nation's corn crops in good-to-excellent condition in its weekly crop progress report, unchanged from the previous week, a Reuters poll of 13 analysts showed on Monday.
Some traders say that they would be watching Monday's USDA report for any sign that recent storms had any material impact on the corn crop in some of the so-called I-states, particularly Iowa.
On Monday, U.S. exporters sold 133,000 metric tons of corn to Mexico for delivery in the 2024/25 marketing year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported.
The USDA on Monday reported export inspections of U.S. corn in the latest week at 970,539 metric tons, within trade expectations of 795,000 to 1,150,000 tons, according to trade analysts. USDA/I
