Front-month wheat fell below $5.38 after USDA raised its all-wheat production projection by more than 130 million bushels. Corn closed near $4 with USDA forecasting a 240 million bushel increase in the crop, and soybeans fell to a 10-week low below $11.35.
A larger USDA crop estimate and record US corn stocks point to ample feed grain supply and lower feed costs, while weak export demand adds further pressure.
