Corn futures traded around $7.5 per bushel, the lowest in nearly 3 weeks and retreating from a 1-month high of $7.9 touched on June 16th, as favourable weather and weak demand prospects weighed on prices, temporarily turning attention away from war disruption to Black Sea exports. Latest weather forecasts pointed to cooler temperatures in top growing regions of the US and widespread rain at the end of June, boosting hopes of solid yields. At the same time, a series of interest-rate hikes by major central banks around the world is raising fears of recession and demand destruction. However, corn futures are not far from an almost 10-year high of $8.1 hit in April, as concerns persist about supply disruptions from the Black sea region since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. Talks failed between the two major global suppliers despite Turkish efforts to negotiate a safe corridor for corn stuck in Black sea ports.
