USDA's October WASDE put 2026/27 U.S. ending stocks above trade expectations for corn (1.849 billion bu vs 1.677 expected), soybeans (315 million bu vs 311) and wheat (740 million bu vs 722). Agriculture equities, including Deere, slid as grain futures fell after the release.
Stocks-to-use above consensus signals ample supply, which pressures cash basis and forward curves for feed grains. A heavier balance sheet typically keeps prices under pressure until demand or weather changes the outlook.
After 1,102 past bearish report events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
After 788 past bearish report events, Soybeans moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -2.0% to +1.5%), and -0.9% over 20.
After 1,006 past bearish report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.8%), and +0.3% over 20.
