CBOT soybeans jump 3.2%, corn 2% after USDA stocks report

The size of the soybean move — more than three percent in a single session triggered by a stocks report — suggests positioning was caught offside heading into the release, which is a market-structure story as much as a fundamentals one. The divergence matters too: grains rallied together while cocoa sold off sharply, so this reads as a report-driven repricing in field crops rather than a broad commodity risk-on shift. Whether the soybean gain holds once the initial reaction fades, and whether corn and wheat follow through or give back gains, is the open question.
