# U.S., China Corn Markets Converge Amid Surplus

> CME Group describes how CBOT and Dalian corn futures trade as highly liquid markets with very different participation. The piece notes China holds an estimated 103 million MT of corn stocks against annual production of about 218 million MT and consumption of 226 million MT. It also says the two contracts have shown little price correlation over the past decade.

## Why it matters

The analysis shows that Chinese domestic corn prices move largely independently of CBOT futures, which limits how much Chinese stock levels transmit to US feed corn prices. Buyers should not assume China's surplus stocks will directly pressure CBOT corn.
