Brazil’s first-crop corn planting reached 51.2% of the expected area, Conab reported. In Rio Grande do Sul, adequate moisture benefited crops, but hail, strong winds and heavy rain caused irreversible damage and losses in some areas; planting and crop development elsewhere varied by state, with excessive moisture and low sunlight also limiting growth in parts of the South.
Storm damage in Rio Grande do Sul could reduce local corn output, while planting progress and favorable conditions in other states partly offset the risk. The overall supply effect is uncertain, with localized weather losses providing some price support.
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.
