The primary influence on today’s trade will likely be the release of the monthly supply and demand data from the USDA. What we will see this month as far as production has been heavily debated ever since the July data was released. For the most part trade is expecting to see a slight reduction in yield on both corn and soybeans from last month. The uncertainty on the domestic side is what will be done with demand. It is almost a given that any reduction to production will have an equal reduction in demand, especially on the soy complex. Heavier reductions to demand are expected in corn, especially on exports. While this data will be heavily focused on, the global side will get just as much attention. Nearly all projections on 2023/24 crop production in South America has increased from the July data was released. Brazil is expected to see corn and soybean production increase by 3 to 4 million metric tons each next year due to elevated plantings and better weather. Larger increases are forecast for Argentina, with corn production up 20 mmt and soybeans up 23 to 25 mmt as the La Nina drought comes to an end. This added production is reducing needs for large crops out of the United States.
