# Grain market review: Coarse grains | World Grain

> The IGC said its corn price index eased 1% month on month in its April 20 report, with US export values rising and South American values falling. Large Chinese sales lifted nearby US contracts, while expectations of larger 2023-24 supplies limited gains in deferred months. The IGC also reported barley export prices fell after declines in the Black Sea, EU and Argentina.

## Why it matters

Chinese buying supports nearby corn and narrows the US premium to Argentina, but larger new-crop supplies cap further gains. Lower barley export quotes point to cheaper feed barley for buyers.
