    On January 19th, according to foreign media reports, Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn futures fell in the week ending January 16, 2026, with the benchmark contract closing down 4.7%, marking the largest weekly drop since July of last year. This was mainly due to bearish supply and demand data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and a clearer outlook for southern corn production. However, rising crude oil futures and strong corn export sales limited the overall decline. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's supply and demand report showed that due to upward revisions in both yield and harvested area, the U.S. corn production forecast was revised upward by 269 million bushels to 17.021 billion bushels, a year-on-year increase of 13.62%, while the market's average expectation before the report's release was a downward revision to 16.544 billion bushels. The export forecast remained unchanged at 3.2 billion bushels, a year-on-year increase of 11.96%. The U.S. corn usage forecast for the ethanol industry remained unchanged at 5.6 billion bushels, a year-on-year increase of 3.02%. Corn ending stocks were revised upward by 198 million bushels to 2.227 billion bushels, far exceeding market expectations of 1.982 billion bushels, representing a year-on-year increase of 43.58%.
