Soybean inventories are expected at about 348 million bushels, up from the previous month’s outlook for 340 million bushels, and wheat stockpiles are forecast at 608 million bushels, up from 598 million in December, the news agency reported.

The government is expected say that corn stockpiles as of Dec. 1 were 11.6 Billion bushels. Soybean inventories are forecast to be around 3.13 Billion bushels and wheat in storage at 1.42 Billion bushels according to the poll.

Signs of demand are influencing prices.

On Monday, 132,000 metric tons corn was sold to Mexico by exporters. This followed sales of 176.784 tons to Mexico, which were announced Friday by the USDA.

The USDA also announced Friday that China purchased 120,000 metric tonnes of soybeans to be delivered in the 2022-2023 marketing years.

Corn futures for March delivery rose 1½¢ to $6.01¼ a bushel overnight on the Chicago Board of Trade.

2. Weekly Corn and Wheat Export Inspections Increased

According to the USDA, inspections of corn for overseas delivery increased and wheat assessments narrowly rose in the seven days ending January 6.

According to a report by the agency, corn inspections totaled 1.02 Million metric tons last week.

That’s up from 759,563 metric tons a week earlier, but down from the 1.35 million tons assessed during the same week a year earlier.

The government reported that U.S. wheat was being examined for offshore delivery at 233,159 metric tonnes, compared to 230,361 tons the week before. That’s still down from 281,356 tons a year earlier.

The USDA reported that inspections of soybeans were reported at 905,149 tonnes, a decrease from 1.61 Million Tonnes a week earlier, and well below the 1.91 Million Tonnes assessed in the same week 2021.

The agency has inspected 14.1 Million Metre Tons of Corn for Delivery Overseas since September 1, when the marketing year began. This is a decrease from the 16.6 Million Tons that were inspected in the same time frame last year.

The dry weather will continue with “extreme fire-weather conditions” expected Friday in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles, the agency said.
