Bank economists warned that price pressures from higher transport fares, electricity rates, and wages, along with high global oil prices and El Niño risks to food supply, could push Philippine inflation above 8% in November and December. A separate report says the Department of Agriculture is considering raising corn imports.
A larger corn import program would add supply to the Philippine feed market and could cap local corn prices, while El Niño risks point the other way for regional grain availability.
After 480 past neutral trade events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
