USDA raised its global wheat production forecast mainly on higher Australian output, and raised global wheat ending stocks by 3.3 million tonnes. USDA cut corn ending stocks but raised U.S. corn exports by 75 million bushels to 2.5 billion, citing sharply lower Ukrainian exports.
The agency warned that the Russian invasion had significantly increased uncertainty in supply and demand.
Higher wheat stocks from Australia and India partly offset lost Russian and Ukrainian exports, which is bearish for wheat. Increased U.S. corn exports tighten the domestic balance, which is supportive for corn.
