# Corn ending stocks grow but not like traders expected | 2020-05-12  | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

> USDA's May WASDE raised 2019/20 corn ending stocks by six million bushels to 2.098 billion, below the trade average of 2.22 billion. The 2020/21 corn carryout was estimated at 3.31 billion bushels versus a trade guess of 3.42 billion, and soybean old-crop stocks were lifted to 580 million bushels.

## Why it matters

A corn carryout below trade expectations gives limited support to futures, but the still-large new-crop stocks keep the outlook bearish, with ethanol demand assumptions a possible source of further downward revision.
