USDA's quarterly stocks report was friendly to corn and soybeans, with futures closing higher on the day. USDA cut the 2016 soybean crop by 11 million bushels and raised corn feeding by 40 million bushels, leaving corn stocks at 2.295 billion bushels.
Soybean stocks of 301 million bushels came in below expectations of 338 million.
Lower soybean stocks and stronger corn feed demand support prices despite harvest pressure. Analysts said good domestic and export demand limits bearish pressure.
