USDA Releases Dec WASDE Report

The USDA is still projecting corn production at 13.66 billion bushels, while soybean production is expected at 3.55 billion.
 
Tuesday's WASDE report also left yields unchanged, with the average corn yield pegged at 167 bushels per acre, with soybeans at 46.9.
 
Revised crop estimates for 2019 will likely be seen in next month's WASDE report, due to the millions of bushels of grain still unharvested.

Historically wars like the 2026 Iran war are bullish hard assets like grains, metals and energy! The funds are spooked and do not want to be short, but do they price in the news over time, similar to the Ukraine/Russian war that started on Feb. 24, 2022? A closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the key to the surge in crude oil, natural gas prices and fertilizer prices.  Grains are breaking out to new contract highs as a hedge against inflation.
