CBOT corn futures reached their highest since mid-2017 as traders focused on dry weather stressing Brazil's second-crop corn. INTL FCStone cut its Brazilian second-corn output forecast by 4% to 60.5 million tonnes, and dry conditions were expected to persist in Parana.
Reduced Brazilian safrinha supply supports CBOT corn prices, raising the cost of corn-based feed ingredients.
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.
