Corn (July)
Fundamentals: Yesterday’s USDA report was slightly bearish with one exception, which outweighed the bearish data. The big surprised came from a drop in yield, which the USDA typically doesn’t touch in this report. The USDA dropped the projected yield to 177 bushels per acre (The February Ag Outlook Forum had trendline yield at 181), siting planting delays as the reason. U.S. ending stocks came in at 1.44 billion bushels, above the average analyst estimate. World ending stocks came in at 309.39 mmt, well above the average analyst estimate of 303.76. Argentina’s corn production was slightly above estimate and unchanged from April. Brazilian production was also above estimates and unchanged from April. Ukraine corn production for 2022/2023 came in at 19.5 mmt, a drop of 54%, with exports dropping 61%. July corn was a dud on this report, while December caught a bid.
