Group 1 - Corn futures experienced a slight upward movement, with the main contract reaching a high of 2316.00 yuan and closing at 2314.00 yuan, reflecting a 1.22% increase [1] - The USDA reported that as of July 13, 2025, the good-to-excellent rating for U.S. corn was 74%, matching market expectations and significantly higher than the previous year's 68% [2] - Domestic market conditions show a decline in auction transactions for imported corn, leading to lower market expectations and reduced purchasing enthusiasm from downstream enterprises [2] Group 2 - The South American corn harvest is creating phase pressure on the market, while the increase in U.S. corn planting area and favorable growing conditions are contributing to a positive yield outlook [3] - The domestic market is facing pressure from wheat substitution and ongoing auctions of imported corn, which are expected to keep short-term prices under pressure [3] - Recommendations for trading strategies include cautious holding of short positions and considering selling wide spread strategies or out-of-the-money call options [3]

Market Review - The main corn futures contract closed down 0.09% at 2320 yuan/ton [1] Fundamental Summary - The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange reported that due to dry weather in unharvested areas, corn harvesting progressed rapidly, with 70.4% of the planted area harvested. Argentina is the world's third-largest corn exporter, with an expected corn production of 49 million tons for the 2024/25 season [2] - The USDA's weekly export sales report indicated that as of the week ending July 3, 2025, the net sales of U.S. corn for the 2024/25 season were 1,262,100 tons, significantly higher than the previous week and 70% above the four-week average.

However, the rising costs of storage funds may limit the decline. The 2509 contract is expected to follow the spot market with a focus on fluctuations, and attention should be paid to weather impacts on new crops in corn-producing areas [3] - Southwest Futures noted that domestic corn supply and demand are tending towards balance, with favorable policies and recovering consumption. The sale of old grain in major production areas is nearing completion, and port inventories are quickly returning, reducing inventory pressure and providing strong support at the bottom for corn prices. From January to May, corn imports sharply decreased, and import margins have increased, suggesting potential for higher import volumes in the future. The China Grain Reserves Corporation continues to sell corn through online auctions, and imported corn is beginning to be released. The narrowing price gap with substitutes may face upward pressure, indicating a cautious outlook [3]

The fundamentals of US corn remain bearish, but the export net sales met expectations, leading to a slightly stronger trend. In the domestic market, wheat prices are supported by reserve purchases, and corn spot prices are temporarily stable, but the continuous auction of imported corn has weakened the futures market.

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2) Core Viewpoints - The current market for old - crop corn inventory continues to decline, while the demand for corn in the breeding and feed production sectors is steadily increasing. The overall market for circulating grain is in a state of tight balance. Although the new - season wheat listing has a negative impact on grain prices, its actual impact on corn prices is limited, and multiple factors still support corn prices. - In the short term, the futures price may show a volatile trend due to price corrections in some regions and the phased pressure of new wheat listing. In the long - term, the supply - demand gap may drive inventory reduction, and the rigid increase in feed demand will gradually increase the probability of price recovery.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, corn prices showed a volatile trend. In the international market, recent favorable weather in US corn - growing regions is conducive to the completion of corn sowing and growth. The phone call between the Chinese and US presidents on the 5th released positive signals again. Coupled with the net export sales of 110,200 tons of US corn last week meeting expectations, US corn prices were volatile. In the domestic market, winter wheat is gradually being harvested from north to south. As of June 5th, the national winter wheat harvest progress reached 52.32%. Due to the generally low opening prices, reserves in many areas have started to enter the market to purchase wheat, which will support wheat prices. Currently, there is little remaining corn inventory, and with slower shipments from traders, the number of trucks arriving at Shandong processing enterprises remains low. In the short - term, domestic corn spot prices fluctuate. In terms of demand, feed enterprises currently have relatively sufficient inventories. The off - season of aquaculture demand restricts restocking, and feed enterprises purchase as needed. Meanwhile, the corn processing industry is entering an off - season, but the recovery of processing profits has slightly stimulated demand. In the short - term, domestic corn may rebound due to reduced trader shipments and the support of wheat prices from reserve purchases. In the long - term, as grain sources gradually shift to channels, channel merchants hold back supplies, port inventories are continuously consumed, imported corn remains low, and downstream demand recovers, there is still a bullish expectation for far - month corn [6]. 3.
