The IGC raised its maize output estimate by 4% over four weeks and noted progress at all key origins, while barley rose 6% and sorghum followed maize higher. The USDA's ERS cut its 2024-25 world coarse grains production forecast by 1.8 million tonnes to 1.492 billion, mainly on lower corn output for Brazil and Argentina.
US maize export bids rose $11 per tonne to $226.

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.
