USDA revised the 2022 U.S. wheat crop down 133 million bushels to 1,650 million, with hard red winter at 531 million. Its June 1 grain stocks report showed corn at 1,377 million bushels, 135 million below market forecasts, and soybeans at 274 million, 32 million above expectations.
A smaller wheat crop and lower-than-expected corn stocks support wheat and corn prices, while larger soybean stocks add bearish pressure to soybeans and soymeal.
