The USDA's February outlook projected a record 3.3 billion bushels of US corn exports for the current crop year, up 30% from last year's record. Corn farm prices are expected to hold slightly above $4.00 per bushel, and ending stocks are projected at 2.127 billion bushels.
Record export pace and strong ethanol use support corn demand, but very large projected ending stocks cap upside and keep prices near current levels.
After 770 past neutral report events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
