Soybean futures recouped a portion of Monday’s losses overnight, while the corn market gave back yesterday’s gains and wheat futures showed a mixed tone.
Mixed trade is expected in the grain and soy markets this morning as traders monitor the U.S./China situation and prepare for USDA’s February crop reports on Wednesday.
Grain and soy futures traded lower overnight, with late pressure from a surge in the U.S. dollar after the much stronger-than-expected January jobs data. We expect the weaker tone to continue early this morning.
Corn, soybeans and wheat are expected to open higher. Weekly sales were strong for corn, at the lower end of expectations for soybeans and poor for wheat.
