USDA increased corn old crop stocks by 173 million bushels unexpectedly, creating downward pressure on prices despite a mild technical bounce at the $5 level; concerns exist about weaker exports and yield estimates left mostly unchanged. Wheat saw some price recovery and export interest due to pent-up demand from Black Sea disruptions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You will see corn demand questioned with a bigger stockpile and weak exports this season; adjust your supply and sales strategy now to capitalise on potential market shifts caused by global crop uncertainties.
