The Final Bell

The latest WASDE report brought some mixed reactions, with overall production numbers closely aligning with expectations but a few regional surprises in state-level yields. The corn balance sheet reflected steady demand but highlighted some adjustments in exports and feed usage, keeping stocks relatively tight. Soybean numbers appeared slightly more bullish, with yields revised in key states, reinforcing a tighter supply outlook. The market response was interesting—corn remained stable, while soybeans saw an uptick, possibly fueled by traders' positioning ahead of global demand cues. Technically, both corn and soybean markets show resilience, with soybeans holding key support levels and corn testing resistance, suggesting some upward potential in the short term if demand holds strong.
