#777 - "Corn Basis, China & Planting" - Weekly Market Outlook: May 11th-15th

In this week’s Ag View Pitch Weekly Market Outlook for May 11–15, Chris Barron is joined by Paul Neiffer and Ryan Moe of StoneX to break down the biggest factors moving corn and soybean markets.The conversation covers old crop and new crop grain sales, the sharp difference between Eastern and Western Corn Belt corn movement, why Western Corn Belt basis could come under pressure later this summer, and how strong soybean crush margins are keeping buyers aggressive. They also discuss wheat and crude oil influence, fund positioning, China trade uncertainty, 2027 corn pricing opportunities, planting progress, wet field conditions, and what producers should be watching heading into mid-May.The episode wraps up with practical advice for farmers: stay alert on basis opportunities, avoid chasing short-lived rallies, focus on strong business decisions, and remember that today’s competitors are often global, not just local.
