Corn Surges to 91% Bullish as Soybeans Hold Neutral — QH Weekly Forecast (Dec 1)
We’re pleased to share this week’s Corn and Soybean Forecasts* — the latest update in the Quantum Hedging Product as grain markets transition into December. The model signals highlight a sharp divergence: corn strengthening significantly, while soybeans continue to move sideways.
Corn Outlook
Corn posts its strongest bullish signal in months, with the QH model reaching a 91%* probability of higher prices (page 3). March corn is forecast at $4.67*/bu, up 19¢ from current trade, supported by improving technical signals and seasonals that typically firm into early December. The forecast range of $4.52–$4.81 reflects a constructive upward bias.
Soybean Outlook
Soybeans remain neutral, with a 51%* probability of higher prices — essentially unchanged from last week (page 5). January soybeans are forecast at $11.39*/bu, as the model continues to reflect a balanced but indecisive market following the slowdown from October’s rally.
Spread Forecasts
Corn spreads remain modestly constructive this week.
-
CH/CK carries a 60%* probability of firming, with a forecast of –7.50¢* (page 4).
-
CH/CN sits at 66%* probability, forecast at –12.25¢*.
Both spreads have flattened slightly after a steady climb through November, suggesting a transition toward more range-bound behavior.
Soybean spreads show the most notable shift in this week’s data.
-
SF/SH drops dramatically to a 35%* probability of firming — moving from neutral into moderately bearish territory (page 6).
-
Other soy spreads (SF/SK, SF/SN) similarly soften, reflecting a cooling of front-end firmness and growing influence from export flows and South American supply expectations.
