A blog post reports US egg and turkey prices rising as avian influenza spreads through Midwest flocks, including Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. It cites millions of birds lost and a rise in Midwest carton egg prices from $1.19 to $1.39 a dozen.
Large bird losses reduce US layer and turkey feed demand, a modest bearish factor for corn and soybean meal, though the source is a blog that relays older AP and USDA figures.
After 175 past bearish disease events, Corn moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.5%), and +0.6% over 20.
After 167 past bearish disease events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.6% over 5 sessions (40% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.4%), and -0.8% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
