Pro Farmer's midday snapshot on October 8, 2026 showed corn down about 3 cents on technical selling ahead of Friday's USDA reports, and soybeans 9 cents lower with meal about $6.50 lower while soyoil rose 40 points. The same update noted USDA weekly corn net sales of 769,500 MT and a joint FTC-USDA inquiry into agricultural equipment markets.
Soymeal weakness and modest corn pressure reflect routine positioning ahead of the WASDE and export sales data rather than a new supply or demand shock. Traders are watching the USDA reports for direction, so price moves are likely to be driven by those releases.
