## Linked price moves

| Commodity | Date | Window | Change % | z-score | Why linked |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CORN | 2018-07-13 | 5 | -5.2% | -2.8 | The July 12 WASDE cut the season-average corn farm price projection and delivered broadly bearish grain balance sheets (large soybean and wheat stock increases), pressuring corn within the 5-day window, partly offset by higher corn exports. |
| OATS | 2018-07-18 | 5 | -10.1% | -2.8 | The July 12 WASDE was broadly bearish for grains (higher US wheat ending stocks, lower corn and soybean price projections, huge soybean stock increase), which likely pressured the wider grain complex and oats through sentiment and feed-substitution linkages, though oats were not directly cited. |
| OATS | 2018-07-15 | 1 | -10.3% | -6.1 | The July 12 WASDE (released before the move ending 2018-07-15) had broadly bearish surprises across grains, including higher US wheat ending stocks and lower corn and soybean price projections, which likely weighed on oats via sentiment and feed-grain spillover, though oats were not directly cited and the size of the drop is much larger than this explains. |
