# Soymeal Demand Put Soybeans Back On A Spring High - Finimize

> Soybeans climbed to their highest level since late March on April 10, 2026, as soymeal rose about 5% to roughly $334 per short ton. The gain followed a USDA-confirmed 100,000 MT US soymeal sale to Italy and 2025/26 soymeal export sales running 16% ahead of last year. Corn and wheat slipped on expectations of plentiful global supplies.
