# Why the Grains Sector is "Feeling Down" Monday

> Grain futures fell on Monday July 7, 2025, after rains fell across the US Plains and Midwest over the holiday weekend. Corn and soybeans were on the defensive, and the grains sector posted its largest cumulative loss of nearly 2.0%. Trump also announced a tariff deadline delay to August 1 and threatened extra tariffs on BRICS-aligned nations.
