Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
The July 10 WASDE was the main scheduled catalyst for corn that day, with sharply lower US and world ending stocks, though the price fell despite the bullish headline numbers, so the market reaction was likely driven by details such as the trade's expectations and the production outlook.
The WASDE raised US soybean ending stocks (bearish) even though it raised the meal price forecast, so the report likely added selling pressure on soy complex.
