CBOT corn falls after release of USDA data
CHICAGO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Chicago Board of Trade corn futures dipped on Friday after the release of long-awaited supply-demand numbers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which were suspended during the 43-day government shutdown.
CBOT December corn CZ25 settled down 11-1/4 cents at $4.30-1/4 per bushel.
The USDA pegged the average 2025 U.S. corn yield at 186.0 bushels per acre, down from 186.7 on September 12. It lowered its production estimate to 16.752 billion bushels, from 16.814 billion in September.
Traders had expected the government to forecast deeper cuts to the nation's corn crop, according to analysts.
Ahead of Friday's USDA supply/demand reports, the first since mid-September, analysts surveyed by Reuters on average expected the government to lower its estimate of the U.S. corn yield to 184.0 bushels per acre.
The range of estimates was unusually wide, reflecting the impact of a USDA data blackout during the 43-day U.S. government shutdown that ended this week.
