Corn Rallies on Tuesday as USDA Cuts Stocks

Corn bulls got a pop on Tuesday following a USDA stocks revision. Futures closed with contracts fractionally to 7 ½ cents higher on the day. The national average Cash Corn price from cmdtyView was up 7 cents at $4.21.

The monthly WASDE report from this morning showed a massive 200 mbu cut to the US corn ending stocks numbers to 1.738 billion bushels. That came via a 50 mbu increase to the ethanol side of the balance sheet, as well as a 150 mbu increase to exports. On the world front both Brazil and Argentina production numbers were left unchanged, with world stocks slashed by 7.7 MMT to 296.44 MMT. Chinese stocks were trimmed by 2 MMT on a cut to imports

Brazil’s ANEC estimates the country’s December corn exports are 3.96 MMT, an increase from the 3.59 MMT prior estimate.
