Chicago corn traded somewhat higher, with the December contract holding around 440 cents per bushel ahead of the USDA’s November 10 supply-and-demand report. A Bloomberg survey showed expectations for lower U.S. production and ending stocks than the USDA’s October estimates; traders were also watching export sales data.
Expected cuts to U.S. production and ending stocks could tighten the projected balance and support corn prices if reflected in the USDA report. Caution ahead of the release may limit near-term moves.
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.
