The WASDE showed bullish surprises for corn (ending stocks cut 5.2% to 1,567 mil bu and the season-average farm price raised 6.7% to $4.8/bu), a supply-tightening mechanism that could support a sharp rally. However, it was released on 2026-09-11, two trading days before the 09-15 move, so the one-day 4% jump may reflect delayed follow-through or other catalysts, which lowers confidence.
WASDE showed lower US corn ending stocks and a higher season-average price projection, bullish surprises that could trigger a sharp one-day rally (dated Sep 11, so timing is only approximate).
