What it is and what moves it
Corn feeds livestock, is turned into ethanol fuel, and goes into food, sweeteners and starch. The US is the largest grower and one of the biggest exporters.
What tends to move the price
- Weather in the US growing season, especially through summer.
- Ethanol demand, which links corn to oil prices.
- Crop reports from the US Department of Agriculture, which can move prices sharply.
Corn prices mostly follow the weather in the US Midwest, with oil prices in the background.
