Corn
Corn is one of the most heavily traded agricultural commodities in the world, traded primarily on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). Its price is influenced by weather conditions, ethanol demand, livestock feed demand, and global trade policies.
Example
“Corn futures surged after the USDA crop report revealed drought conditions in the Midwest had reduced the expected harvest yield by 12%.”
