The European Commission cut its EU corn harvest forecast by 6.5 million tonnes, and French corn prices rose 13.4% month-on-month to E336 per tonne. France's corn condition rating fell to 47% good or excellent, the lowest weekly reading since 2011, due to drought.

After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
