# WASDE: USDA data gives corn prices a modest bump

> USDA's December WASDE left U.S. corn and soybean production and yield unchanged, raised 2025/26 corn exports by 125 million bushels to 3.2 billion, and cut corn ending stocks to 2.029 billion. Soybean and winter wheat futures eroded after the report because U.S. soybean and wheat stocks gave no forward momentum, while corn futures firmed modestly.

## Why it matters
