China's 2023 grain imports rose 12% to 162 million tonnes, while their value dipped slightly to US$82.3 billion. December corn receivals hit a monthly record of 4.95 Mt, and full-year corn imports rose 31.6% to 27.13 Mt, lured by Brazilian supply.
Strong Chinese corn buying from Brazil and Argentina diverts demand from U.S. corn and reflects ample South American supply that pressures global feed grain prices.
After 683 past bearish trade events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and +0.3% over 20.
