USDA raised its U.S. soybean yield estimate to 53.3 bushels per acre and production to 4.574 billion bushels, but cut projected ending stocks by 15 million bushels to 300 million. The agency increased its export forecast by 25 million bushels; soybean futures and cash prices rose, while USDA also reported a 150,000-tonne private sale to Mexico for 2026/27.
The larger export outlook tightened projected U.S. carryout despite higher production, lending support to soybean prices. Stronger soybean values also lifted meal and oil futures.
