ProAg's review of the August USDA reports recaps the surprise WASDE: corn yield, acreage and production were well above pre-report estimates and December corn fell 25 cents. It also gives world 2019-20 corn ending stocks of 307.7 million tonnes, compared with 298.9 million in July.
Higher world corn ending stocks suggest ample global feed supplies, which keeps downward pressure on corn and feed prices.
After 1,102 past bearish report events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
The review recaps the WASDE surprise, with December corn down 25 cents and world corn ending stocks raised.
