CBOT September corn hit a three-month high on July 1, 2020, after USDA reported 92.0 million acres planted, about 5 million below the March forecast and the biggest March-to-June drop since 1983. Forecasts for hot, dry weather during pollination added support, and large fund net short positions left the market open to short-covering.
The sharp acreage cut reduces expected US corn supply, and weather-related yield risk during pollination supports feed grain prices. Fund short covering could extend the rally in the near term.
