The December WASDE left the 2019/20 U.S. corn balance sheet unchanged, while USDA raised Chinese corn production to 260 MMT and cut crops in Australia and Canada. World corn ending stocks rose 4.6 MMT to 300.56 MMT, but excluding China they fell 1.17 MMT.
Eight percent of the U.S. corn crop was still unharvested.
Unchanged U.S. balances leave corn steady, but lower Australian and Canadian output and weaker ex-China stocks are mildly supportive for prices.
