USDA Agriculture Estimates

The USDA came out with inventory numbers and it sees corn ending stocks unchanged from last month at 810M bushels. The Teucrium Corn ETF ($CORN) had risen the last week as investors felt the stocks would fall; the ETF is down nearly 1% in early trading.

The estimates for soybeans and wheat both fell, which could be a boost to the prices of the two commodities. However early trading is mixed on the ETFs that trade the ags.

Teucrium Soybean ETF ($SOYB) is up slightly and has rallied 20% in the last few months as the Teucrium Wheat ETF ($WEAT) is down slightly.

The more widely followed iPath Grains ETN ($JJG) is down 0.5% on the news, however long-term the ETN and grains sector is one to watch and is on the PFG WishList.
