USDA raised its 2026/27 US ending corn stocks estimate to 47 million tons from 39.8 million, driven by a yield increase to 181.2 bushels per acre and higher beginning stocks. Global corn ending stocks rose 8.3 million tons to 280.4 million, while USDA cut EU, Philippine and Mexican production estimates.
Larger US and global corn stocks expand available supply and pressure corn prices lower, partly offset by reduced EU and Mexican output.
After 1,102 past bearish report events, CORN moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
