Corn futures rose in Chicago Tuesday as the market awaited a USDA report expected to reduce estimates for the U.S. crop. In Brazil, ample available supply and cautious buying limited trading and prices, while storms in Rio Grande do Sul caused crop damage and excessive moisture hindered crop development in some areas.
Storm damage and excess moisture may reduce or delay Brazilian corn output, lending some support to prices, though abundant supplies are currently limiting the domestic market. Expected U.S. production cuts also offer potential support to futures, depending on the USDA figures.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
