Corn futures represent one of the most widely traded agricultural commodities in the world, reflecting the price of No. 2 Yellow corn delivered at key U.S. Midwest grain terminals. The United States, Brazil, and Argentina are the dominant producers and exporters, and prices are shaped by planted acreage, weather during the growing season, ethanol blending mandates, livestock feed demand, and global export competition. Corn has a pronounced seasonal price pattern tied to the Northern Hemisphere planting and harvest cycle. The contract is quoted in U.S. cents per bushel on the CME Group's CBOT exchange.
