The U.S. Department of Agriculture will release its planting intentions and quarterly grain stocks reports on Monday, March 31 as 12:00 p.m. Eastern. This release will make Monday one of the most important grain-trading days of the year. History shows this report day to be a potential tone-setter in the grain and cotton markets for weeks to come — until the U.S. corn (ZCK25), soybean (ZSK25) and cotton (KGK25) crops are in the ground and growing, and the winter wheat (KEK25) crops are maturing. The agency’s quarterly grain stocks report will provide updates on the domestic and global supply and demand balance sheets for grains.
