# Will WASDE break the grains selloff?

> Analysts expect USDA's December WASDE to show tighter corn and soybean ending stocks, with trade estimates of 1,691 million bushels for corn and 168 million for soybeans, while wheat stocks remain near historic highs. Adjustments are expected to focus on demand, since yield and acreage changes are reserved for January.
