DTN reports that USDA's Outlook Forum projects US soybean ending stocks of 320 million bushels for 2025-26, below the pre-report average estimate of 380 million. USDA projected planted area of 84 million acres and a yield of 52.5 bushels per acre, which DTN notes is optimistic given recent yield trends.
Tighter-than-expected ending stocks support soybean prices, though the reliance on a high yield assumption creates downside risk if yields disappoint.
