Corn futures steadied after a multi-week decline, while prices remained under pressure from weak U.S. export demand and expectations of increased Ukrainian exports. Upcoming U.S.-Ukraine-Russia talks and the USDA WASDE report were key market focuses.
Safer Black Sea shipping could bring more Ukrainian corn to export markets, increasing available supply. Sluggish U.S. demand also weighs on prices, while the WASDE could shift expectations for the global balance.
After 683 past bearish trade events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and +0.3% over 20.
