USDA's July WASDE raised estimated 2024/25 US corn production to 15.100 billion bushels and cut soybean production slightly to 4.435 billion. The report lowered 2024/25 corn ending stocks and reduced old-crop soybean stocks more than the trade had expected.
Tighter-than-expected US corn and soybean carryouts support prices and lift the cost of feed grains and meal for buyers.
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, SOY moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.1%), and +0.8% over 20.
