USDA's latest Trade Outlook raises key farm export forecasts by $3.2 billion, with the fiscal 2026 agricultural trade deficit forecast down 42% from fiscal 2025. USDA officials expect record corn exports, sorghum exports up nearly 100%, and record ethanol exports.
Expected record corn and sorghum export volumes support US feed grain demand and domestic prices. Strong ethanol exports also support DDGS and corn demand.
After 1,040 past bullish report events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.9% to +2.0%), and +0.8% over 20.
