CFR Northeast Asia corn hit a new high of $295.40/mt on Feb. 17, up $9.40/mt on the day after a South Korean feedmiller booked a cargo for June delivery.
Argentine origination basis fell about 10 cents over Feb. 4-16 as farmers sold ahead of an expected export tax increase.
Surging Panamax freight costs are lifting delivered Asian corn prices even as Argentine FOB basis softens, widening the landed-cost gap for feed buyers in Asia. Higher freight and tighter Panamax tonnage support corn and other bulk grain prices into Asia.
After 285 past bullish logistics events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.5%), and +0.8% over 20.
