USDA's agricultural projections through 2026 expect US corn demand to grow steadily, with production rising after a drop in 2017. Lower corn prices are expected to increase feed use, while ethanol output is projected to rise slightly before declining.
The US is expected to remain the largest corn exporter.
Long-term growth in feed and export demand supports the outlook for corn, though near-term prices remain shaped by supply.
After 770 past neutral report events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
