  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For corn, domestically, as the new - season corn in the Northeast is approaching the listing period, reserve - rotation corn is continuously put into the market, weakening traders' confidence in price support and accelerating the sale of remaining grains. With poor breeding profits, sluggish feed sales, and low enthusiasm from feed enterprises to purchase old grains, and deep - processing enterprises relying mainly on contract grains, the market trading is relatively light, and prices continue to run weakly. Recently, due to short - covering, corn futures prices have rebounded from the low level [2]. - For corn starch, as previously overhauled enterprises resume work, the operating rate in the corn starch industry has rebounded, increasing supply - side pressure. The overall market trading shows no obvious trend, and the supply - demand pattern is clearly oversupplied with high inventory pressure. Affected by the corn rebound, starch prices have risen in a volatile manner [3]. 3.
