Signal Ocean reports that Brazilian corn export constraints are increasing even as Conab projects a 2024/25 crop near 126.2 million tonnes, up about 10% year on year. Rising domestic demand from livestock and corn ethanol is absorbing a larger share of the crop, and year-to-date shipments are at a multi-year low.
A shrinking Brazilian exportable surplus tightens global corn supply and supports US corn export demand and prices, which benefits buyers to watch for higher feed corn costs. Brazil's domestic feed and ethanol demand is also a structural shift.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
