Friday's October USDA Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and
Demand Estimates (WASDE) reports surprised traders and analysts alike, with a
mostly unexpected and sizable increase in U.S. corn yield and production.
Adding to the bearish reaction was the forecast for record soybean yield and
production and a rise in wheat ending stocks. The large fund net long, along
with the double whammy of the recent corn stocks increase in September and
shocking yield and production finds, sent the futures market reeling early
while still finishing with a sizable loss.
