USDA Releases December WASDE

The USDA released its December World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report on Thursday.

Dan Basse is president of AgResource Company in Chicago.

"Not a lot of changes," he said. "USDA put U.S. corn end stocks at 1.493 billion bushels. That's unchanged. Soybeans at 340 million bushels, unchanged...They lowered imports from Canada five million bushels because of your tight stocks and then cut exports 20, leaving stocks up 15 million bushels at 598. A historically tight number, but not as tight as last month."

Basse says globally they didn't make any changes with South American crops.

He notes the only change came in wheat where they raised the Australian crop to 34 million metric tonnes, almost a record.

Video: Iran War = “Trend is Your Friend” Short-Term BUT……


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.
