Western Canadian feedlots keep buying US corn imports, which is putting pressure on feed barley and wheat prices. Buyers are now looking at deliveries into March through June because supply is ample.

Heavy corn imports are substituting for domestic feed grains and weighing on near-term barley and wheat prices, while expected lower acreage could firm prices later in 2024.
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.
