# U.S. grains: Soybeans fall to seven-week low; corn eases, wheat climbs - Grainews

> CBOT soybeans fell to a seven-week low on Monday, July soybeans down 8-1/4 cents at $10.33-1/2, and soyoil also hit its lowest since mid-April. Corn eased about 5-3/4 cents to $4.38-1/4 while wheat rose about 5 cents to $5.39 on short-covering after a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia. Trade tensions with China and ample Brazilian supplies, with AgRural raising its Brazil soy forecast to 169 million tonnes, weighed on soybeans.

## Why it matters

Trade friction with China and a large Brazilian crop pressure soybean and meal values, while Black Sea war risk supports wheat and cuts into feed grain cost competition.
