A North American Millers' Association speaker said the US oat market faces tariff complications and very low oat stocks in Canada, the largest supplier to the US. Canada and the US together form the largest oat market in the world, with about 72% of Canadian commercial oats used for human food.
Tighter Canadian supplies and tariff risk could firm oat prices if trade frictions grow, though demand is shifting toward food rather than feed use.
After 17 past bearish trade events, Oats moved a median +1.2% over 5 sessions (71% higher; middle half -4.2% to +5.0%), and -0.2% over 20.
