Corn shorts are up, and global climate and U.S. policy shifts cloud the grain market outlook.

Amid global supply pressures and Four major foreign exchange platformsdemand fluctuations, the movements in the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) grain market are drawing significant market attention, particularly as the progress of the U.S. elections and weather conditions in major production areas intertwine to influence market prospects. Data shows that the short positions in corn futures have further increased, heightening market tensions.

The latest weekly report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates poor winter wheat crop conditions in the U.S., with only 41% rated as good to excellent, nearly the lowest level since 1986. Drought conditions pose challenges to winter wheat planting, leading to a slight rebound in wheat prices. Although rainfall in some regions has provided relief, drought in Argentina and the Black Sea area continues to threaten wheat prospects.

Meanwhile, CBOT soybean and corn futures prices have shown little fluctuation this week. With the revival of export demand, prices have received some support. Data reveals that the U.S. has exported bulk corn and soybeans to Mexico and other markets, partially alleviating inventory pressure.

In the international market, supply competition is intense. Egypt purchased 290,000 tons of Black Sea wheat in an international tender, indicating increased supply pressure in the European market, which further suppresses the potential for wheat price increases. As the U.S. harvest season approaches its end, supply pressure remains, but improved export demand is easing inventory pressure.

Additionally, geopolitical factors are further exacerbating the uncertainty in the grain market. The market is highly focused on the outcome of this week's U.S. election, as it is crucial for future agricultural policies. Especially with potential policy changes, U.S.-China agricultural trade relations may experience fluctuations, having a profound impact on U.S. grain exports.

Market participants are also watching for the upcoming U.S. Department of Agriculture's monthly supply and demand report on Friday, which is expected to update key grain inventory and supply data, helping the market assess the impact of the U.S. harvest season on the global supply landscape.
