Corn futures declined Thursday after the USDA lowered its corn stock estimates to 2.122 billion bus from 2.172 billion bus in March, which would still be a five-year high and projected the Brazilian corn harvest at 124 million tonnes versus Conab’s 110.964-million-tonne forecast. Wheat futures declined after the USDA raised its forecast for June 1, 2024, all-wheat ending stocks by 25 million bus.
