Corn and soybean futures extended overnight rallies after USDA, in its Supply and Demand report for May, forecast lower than expected U.S. stockpiles at the end of the 2025-26 marketing year. Wheat futures remained under pressure after USDA predicted a sharp jump in next year’s supplies. About 1.8 billion bushels of corn are expected to be on hand at the end of the 2025-26 crop, USDA said in the report, which included the agency’s initial estimates for the upcoming marketing year.

Soybeans also rally, though supply and demand brings mixed bag. Corn futures briefly extended a recent rally to six-week highs after USDA’s monthly supply and demand update showed a larger-than-expected cut to U.S. stockpiles later this year. Soybean futures also gained after USDA lowered U.S. ending stocks.

Soybean and wheat prices also firm immediately following today’s report. USDA’s latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, released Tuesday morning, didn’t have a lot of shocking data for traders to digest. The big surprises came in January, so with few changes to those numbers, traders were confident in resuming a pattern of technical buying today. Corn prices shifted 1% higher immediately following the report’s release, with soybeans up around 0.5%.
