USDA's September crop report raised its corn production outlook to a record despite lower per-acre yields, and boosted 2025-26 corn exports to a record near 3 billion bushels. December corn settled up 10.25 cents at $4.30 and November soybeans rose 12.75 cents to $10.4625 as the market rallied.
Higher acreage and record production are bearish supply signals, but a record export forecast and dry August conditions offset them, supporting prices for corn and soybeans.
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.
After 747 past bullish report events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.1%), and +0.8% over 20.
