Free trade agreement partners bought half of U.S. feed grains exports in 2016-17, a record 57.4 million metric tons, up 14 percent year over year. The U.S. has FTAs with 20 countries that take significant corn, sorghum, barley and co-product volumes.
Growing reliance on FTA buyers supports U.S. corn and barley export demand, but the share of global GDP covered remains small, so the effect on prices is modest.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
