Corn prices averaged USD 421 cents per bushel in September, up 9.8% from August. On 30 September, the commodity traded at USD 416 cents per bushel, up 4.4% from 29 August.
In September, average corn prices saw the sharpest month-on-month rise in three-and-a-half years. Supply concerns drove the increase, as the eastern corn belt suffered from unusually dry weather, which sparked fears over yields this season. Stronger-than-expected U.S. exports, and an unexpectedly tight global supply-and-demand balance reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture also supported the price uptick.
