USDA raised its 2026/27 U.S. soybean production estimate to 4.57 billion bushels, but the increase was smaller than expected, and it cut projected ending stocks to 300 million bushels from 315 million as exports rose. Corn and soybean futures advanced after the report; the article described the report as neutral for wheat, whose futures also rose.
A smaller-than-expected soybean crop increase and higher projected exports tightened expected carryout, supporting soybean prices. The reduced corn crop forecast also tightened supply expectations and helped lift corn futures.
