Corn prices were pressured by a strengthening US dollar, which offset gains from strong US export demand. US 2024/25 corn exports are near 30 million tons, roughly double the prior year, as Brazil and Argentina supplies fell short.
A stronger dollar makes US corn less competitive abroad and caps prices even as demand for US supply grows. Reduced South American and Ukrainian supplies could eventually force USDA to raise its export forecast and cut carryover stocks.
After 78 past neutral macro events, CORN moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and -0.6% over 20.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, DXY moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
