Safras & Mercado reported that summer corn planting in Brazil’s Center-South had reached 83.8% of the estimated 3.548 million hectares by November 6. Progress was ahead of the five-year average of 79.1% and last year’s 77.6% at the same point.
Planting is progressing faster than average, reducing the risk of delays to crop establishment, although the figures alone do not indicate a change in expected yields or total production.
After 770 past neutral report events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
