Grain futures slide following April WASDE release

Grain futures slide following April WASDE release

Most CME grain prices were on a downward trend on Thursday. The only grain that showed an increase was May soymeal, which rose $4.70 and closed at $335.60/st. May soybeans shifted down $0.055 to $11.59/bu. Furthermore, May corn dropped $0.055 to $4.28/bu, and May wheat fell $0.0675 to $5.51/bu. The latest WASDE report from the USDA contained a combination of bullish and bearish data. However, market players seemed to focus on the fresh reminder of large domestic and global grain stocks, resulting in a round of technical selling for corn, wheat, and soybeans.
