USDA's November Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook raised feed price forecasts, with the 2020-21 corn price at $4.00/bushel, up 40 cents, and soybean meal at $355/short ton, up $20. Record US corn exports of 2.65 billion bushels are projected on strong Chinese imports and a cut in Ukrainian production.
Higher USDA corn and soymeal price projections, driven by record export demand and Ukrainian drought losses, point to higher feed costs for livestock and poultry buyers.
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.
After 414 past bullish report events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -2.1% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
