Corteva's summer outlook says El Niño is fading toward neutral through June, with La Niña expected by mid-summer. Models point to a hot, dry risk for the western Corn Belt during July pollination, while May rain has reduced drought areas and slowed planting.
Forecast risk of heat and dryness during July pollination could lift corn and soybean risk premiums, supporting feed grain prices if it materializes.
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.
