The USDA Prospective Plantings and Grain Stocks report released 2020-03-31 gave the first survey-based view of US corn acreage and stocks, a direct supply-side catalyst that plausibly drove sharp price repricing at the end of the 5-day window, though the move may also have reflected broader March 2020 volatility (COVID-19, crude oil collapse, ethanol demand) that is not captured here.
The March 31 Prospective Plantings showed US soybean intentions rebounding to about 83.5M acres alongside ample quarterly stocks, pointing to larger future bean and meal supply and pressuring meal prices; the late-March COVID-driven spike in meal likely unwinding also contributed.
