USDA's July WASDE raised its 2019 U.S. corn production estimate to 13.875 billion bushels, above the June figure and trade expectations, and left yield at 166 bushels per acre. Old- and new-crop corn ending stocks came in bearish, while soybean ending stocks were viewed as supportive.
USDA also flagged an updated ENSO forecast showing El Nino ending.
A larger corn crop and bigger carryout pressure corn prices, while the smaller soybean outlook and weather risk from the end of El Nino support soybean and feed prices.
