# Beyond the WASDE: How yield volatility and export demand will drive markets after USDA's bullish surprise

> USDA cut its U.S. corn production estimate by 141 million bushels from October, attributing the reduction to a 1.6-bushel-per-acre yield decline to 179.6 bushels. The article says corn and soybean ending stocks were reduced and discusses continued uncertainty over corn yields and export demand, including Chinese soybean demand.

## Why it matters

Lower projected corn output and tighter corn and soybean stocks reduce expected supply, supporting prices; further yield revisions could add volatility. Export demand, particularly for soybeans, is another potential source of support.
