Market analysis
 
Supplies of corn remained ample, exerting pressure on the market, particularly in the production region, while demand showed little improvement. In the consumption region, prices were firm due to recovering feed demand.
 
Overall, prices dipped 0.43% over the week.
 
 
Market forecast
 
Corn demand is unlikely to be strong with animal inventories staying low. Moreover, feed millers will withhold purchases as the outlook of China's economy remains bleak while the availability of corn is expected to stay abundant.
