The Jan 10 USDA WASDE cut US corn ending stocks by about 11% to 1,540 mil bu and raised the season-average price projection, a bullish supply shock released on the day of the move.
The Jan 10 WASDE cut US soybean ending stocks sharply (380 vs 470 mil bu) and trimmed world stocks, a bullish supply surprise for the soy complex that plausibly carried into soybean oil's Jan 13 rally, though the report is not oil-specific and the move came a trading day later, so relevance is moderate.
