Corn prices averaged USD 444 cents per bushel in July, up 6.2% from June. On 31 July, the commodity traded at USD 441 cents per bushel, up 6.8% from 30 June.
Corn prices reversed some of June’s losses in July, as the U.S.-Iran conflict flared up again and reignited market concerns about prolonged supply-chain disruptions affecting energy and fertilizer prices. This will have also supported biofuel demand; corn is widely used in ethanol production. Concerns over adverse crop conditions in the U.S. Midwest and Europe fanned prices further.
