# Strong domestic demand tends to firm corn prices, says Grão Direto

> Brazilian corn buyers have become more active and are paying more to replenish stocks, while sellers maintain their asking prices. Demand from poultry and hog feed producers and corn-ethanol plants, along with a weaker real-to-dollar exchange rate supporting export parity, is underpinning prices; traders are also watching for a USDA report that could show lower-than-expected stocks.

## Why it matters

Steady feed and ethanol demand tightens the domestic balance and supports Brazilian corn prices. A weaker real improves export competitiveness, adding support from port values.
