what happened

Grain traders are continuing to assess last week’s WASDE report at the start of this week. The USDA is closed in observance of Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day. The report put corn yields and production above analysts’ expectations, triggering a sharp drop in corn futures.

Corn has since turned higher, gaining 0.3%. “We’re largely seeing a reversal from Friday’s post-WASDE trade, with a multitude of corn tenders announced after the break lower in prices,” Matt Zeller of StoneX wrote in a note, according to Dow Jones Newswires. Soybeans are down 0.3%, while wheat has declined 0.1%.

why it matters

The grain market is reassessing its initial response to WASDE. Corn is being supported by newly announced tenders, while soybeans and wheat remain slightly lower.
