Commodore Research notes that USDA again lowered its 2024/25 global grain export forecast on weaker harvests and raised its 2023/24 export estimate. The analysis expects a larger year-on-year contraction in 2024/25 grain trade, though it calls the forecast preliminary.
Tighter expected global grain export supplies for 2024/25 support corn and wheat prices, while shrinking grain trade volumes reduce demand for dry bulk shipping.
After 1,040 past bullish report events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.9% to +2.0%), and +0.8% over 20.
After 769 past bullish report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.2% over 20.
