USDA raised 2017/18 U.S. ending stocks projections for corn, soybeans and wheat. Wheat stocks were put at 989 million bushels versus 960 million in December, and corn stocks at 2.477 billion bushels.
Larger projected ending stocks signal ample supplies for feed grains, which tends to cap prices for corn, wheat and soybeans for feed buyers.
