Corn is a highly seasonal commodity with most of the trading action happening in during the summer months. The period between planting and harvesting is one of the most volatile months for corn futures as the Smart Money and Hedgers move price based on expected supply and demand factors. Other factors affecting the supply and demand equation are the strength of the U.S. dollar, government regulation, emerging market and the weather.

Corn prices have hit a seven-year high thanks to high demand from China and weather-related production problems in South America.

Chicago futures contracts for the staple crop hit the highest level since 2013, with analysts predicting the US will cut its estimates of domestic supply as Beijing continues a buying spree.

China has been ordering corn in vast quantities, as its pig herds recover more quickly than expected from the African Swine Fever epidemic.

Now when I look at the monthly chart of corn, price can move 20% higher to the monthly supply at $660.
