Refinitiv reports that spot soybean barge bids to the U.S. Gulf edged higher on March 17, 2025 in low-volume trade. Empty barge freight at St. Louis rose to 475% of tariff amid lock delays, and USDA weekly corn inspections of 1.66 million tons and wheat inspections of 492,658 tons came in above or in line with expectations.
Higher barge freight and firm Gulf basis support soybean and corn prices at the Gulf, while strong wheat export inspections point to solid export demand.
