After the release of Thursday’s Quarterly Grain Stocks and Prospective Plantings reports, we saw soybeans down hard on a record acreage estimate of 91 million and higher than expected ending stocks. December corn was up 27 3/4 cents and September Minneapolis wheat was up 9 cents, both benefiting from USDA’s lower-than-expected planting estimates on Thursday. The rest of the grain sector finished lower, along with a sharp drop in crude oil prices. We also saw lean hogs and cattle futures lower across the board on Thursday.
