Soybean barge basis bids at U.S. Gulf terminals were steady to higher as flooding on the lower Ohio and lower Mississippi rivers slowed or halted barge loading. Repair work at Lock 27 also delayed barge movements, while corn CIF basis weakened as futures rose.
River disruptions tighten nearby soybean supplies for exporters and lift freight rates, supporting Gulf soybean basis while corn basis softens with higher futures.
