# Market Snapshot | Black Sea tensions spur rally in grains - Pro Farmer

> Corn and wheat futures firmed on December 2 as tensions rose in the Black Sea. Consultant Michael Cordonnier cut his 2025-26 Brazilian corn estimate by 2.0 MMT to 138.0 MMT and his Brazilian soybean estimate by 1.0 MMT to 176.0 MMT due to delayed planting and heat. Soymeal fell about $1.30 while soyoil rose.

## Why it matters

Lower Brazilian crop estimates tighten South American supply ahead of US and Brazilian export seasons, supporting corn and soybean prices. Soymeal weakness reflects softer demand, weighing on meal prices.
