USDA's July WASDE raised new-crop U.S. corn production to 14.2 billion bushels and soybean production to 4.3 billion bushels. It cut soybean exports by 250 million bushels to reflect new Chinese import duties, lifting domestic soybean ending stocks to 580 million bushels from 385 million in June.
Lower soybean export demand and a larger carryout point to weaker soybean prices, while the tighter corn stocks outlook supports corn values.
After 788 past bearish report events, Soybeans moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -2.0% to +1.5%), and -0.9% over 20.
After 1,040 past bullish report events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.9% to +2.0%), and +0.8% over 20.
