USDA slashes already tight U.S. corn ending stocks for both marketing years
Cotton and wheat carryover also came in lighter than expected. On the other hand, soybean carryover climbed a bit more than expected for both 2020-21 and 2021-22.
USDA's updated winter wheat production estimate came in just shy of expectations and up nearly 12% from last year’s crop.
