In true USDA fashion, the market was given absolutely nothing to trade with the WASDE report.  It was as pure of punt as you can get and the market reacted accordingly with some dull trade following the report release until corn made a late session push to finish 1-5 higher.  U.S. balance sheets remained unchanged for 2023/24 and 2024/25 with exception of 23/24 soybean crush lowered by 10 million bushels, which trickled all the way down to the 24/25 ending stocks increasing by 10 million bushels.  South American production forecasts were left mostly unchanged with the exception of Brazil soybean production being lowered by 1 mmt.
