A King Ranch Institute analysis explains that unusually heavy Corn Belt rain is pushing a significant share of 2019 corn planting past May 30, prompting farmers to shift to shorter-season hybrids. The article notes corn can partly compensate through faster growth, leaving a potential decent crop.
Late planting and the inverse corn-cattle relationship mean higher corn prices feed through to lower feeder cattle prices.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, CORN moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
After 29 past bearish weather events, FCATTLE moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.5% to +2.6%), and +2.4% over 20.
