The November WASDE cut US soybean yield to 50.7 bu/acre and production to 4.17 billion bushels, reducing soybean ending stocks by 100 million bushels to 190 million. USDA also lowered corn yield to 175.8 bu/acre and corn ending stocks to 1.702 billion bushels after raising exports by 325 million bushels.
Tighter US soybean and corn carryouts point to continued price support, with analysts expecting soybean futures to target $12 as stocks approach pipeline levels. Higher export demand from China and Mexico reinforces the bullish supply picture for feed grains and meal.
