Soybeans led Chicago grains on January 14 as soyoil rose about 3.7% and beans gained roughly 1%, while corn and wheat slipped. Traders expect the US to set 2026 biofuel blending quotas by early March, close to the initial proposal, and NOPA reported strong December crush.
Expected biofuel quotas support soyoil demand for renewable diesel, which lifts the soybean complex, while strong crush supports meal supply. Record global grain supplies and Brazil's upcoming harvest cap corn and wheat prices and soybean export competition.
