The USDA reported that the US agricultural trade deficit was cut in half from $50 billion as farm exports rose, led by corn, dairy, sorghum and ethanol. The agency's Trade Outlook projects a $3.2 billion boost in key farm exports, with corn volume up 35%, dairy about 10% and sorghum 100%.
Higher projected export volumes for corn and sorghum support domestic demand and feed-grain prices. The gains are a modest, forecast-based driver rather than a new supply shock.
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.
