IGC raised its U.S. corn production forecast 5.5 MMT, which was partially offset by reductions for Russia and Romania.

IGC raised the global soybean production forecast to 419 MMT, up 4 MMT from last month due mostly to a bigger U.S. crop. Global soybean production is expected to jump 27 MMT (6.9%) above last year’s record.
