Chicago corn fell to $4.38 per bushel, its lowest level since July 1, as traders positioned ahead of the USDA’s monthly supply-and-demand report. Analysts expected the report to show larger global corn stocks, particularly in South America, despite a modestly lower U.S. production estimate; forecasts for U.S. yields varied.
Expectations of larger global stocks weigh on corn prices by implying more supply is available, while a lower-than-expected USDA supply estimate could prompt a rebound. South American weather remains a source of uncertainty for future production.
