The October WASDE dropped Friday October 11th, and though it largely held pat on USDA updates from both the September report and from the end of month stock updates, there was still news to be made as South America's crop comes into clearer focus and tensions across the country and around the globe continue to escalate.DTN's Lead Markets Analyst Todd Hultman joins us today for one last WASDE breakdown, talking us through trade expectations and market reactions since the report came out, and how the global picture for corn, soybeans and wheat has been tweaked. We'll dig into the confidence growers can have in the October numbers, and dive deep on the livestock markets to understand what USDA is predicting for the final quarter of 2024. Then we'll tackle China trade news, the winter energy outlook and how Mideast conflict might be affecting that picture, and what the weather outlook might have in store for harvest season.Then we'll talk about market impacts of the election and the long term potential of a growing Brazilian harvest.

The October WASDE was viewed as a bullish report by the market, with corn, soy, and wheat futures all rising following its release. For corn in particular, it was higher old crop feed demand that caught the market by surprise. Meanwhile, for wheat markets, we saw 2023/24 estimations for both global production and trade trimmed.

The October WASDE dropped Thursday, October 12th, and it wasn't certain that it would, given the threat of a government shutdown that was narrowly avoided in recent weeks. Chaos in Congress is just one of the breaking news stories causing anxiety throughout financial and commodity markets, especially after a renewed conflict in the Middle East thrust the geopolitical state of Central Asia and Eastern Europe back into the spotlight. Agricultural markets are not seeing outsized impacts for the news, but analysts are watching carefully as the stories continue to evolve. DTN's Lead Markets Analyst Todd Hultman joins us today to tackle the report and offer his thoughts and insights on the bigger picture. We'll discuss expectations going into a report that is known for being much more reliable for yield predictions than earlier editions, and we'll fit the latest figures into USDA's outlook for global stocks and demand for corn, soybeans and wheat. Plus, Todd will explore the latest in the livestock sector, dig into the latest on the unexpected, pre-report soybean rally, and think more about the weather effects still ahead. Then we'll talk interest rates and employment and how they may affect ag markets going forward.

On the latest RaboResearch Agri Commodities podcast, Carlos Mera and Michael Magdovitz discuss the October WASDE report. Poor 2022/23 US grain and oilseed harvests are forcing the USDA to become increasingly adept with scissors. As it cuts production, the USDA must increasingly (and tragically) cut demand to prevent ending stockpiles from disappearing. Relative to expectations, the report was bearish on corn and bullish on soy, and it resulted in funds partially unwinding their corn/soy spread. The prime takeaway is that supply inflation is being increasingly controlled by weak, recession-linked demand.
