USDA is expected to released the quarterly Grain Stocks report today at 11 a.m. CT.

“The quarterly stocks reports are known for their market-moving surprises that often defy logic, but they are the numbers that the market will trade,” said Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist at StoneX.

Cole Raisbeck, commodities broker with Kluis Commodity Advisors, said if the report pegs soybean stocks at or below trade expectations and soybean futures can stay above $10.05 per bushel, it could indicate an early harvest low for soybeans is established.

“I’ll be watching how the market initially digests the numbers at release, but I’ll be paying especially close attention to how the market closes tomorrow,” he said.
