The June WASDE slashed 2020/21 U.S. corn ending stocks by 150 million bushels, more than analysts expected, on rising export and ethanol demand. Corn stocks are the tightest since 1995/96, and the USDA kept the season-average farm price at $5.70 per bushel.
Robust export inspections in May despite high prices were cited.
Tight stocks and strong export demand support higher corn prices, which raise feed grain costs for buyers. The unchanged farm price forecast suggests the market still sees room for further rallies.
After 1,040 past bullish report events, CORN moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.9% to +2.0%), and +0.8% over 20.
