CoBank reports the U.S. is harvesting a record soybean crop and the third-largest corn crop, with large carryover stocks and carry returning to futures markets. Export headwinds include a strong dollar, trade policy uncertainty, stalled rail shipments into Mexico, and low Mississippi River water levels, while Brazilian and Russian drought is sending buyers back to U.S. supplies.
Ample domestic supply and export frictions point to pressure on U.S. corn and soybean prices, partly offset by renewed export demand and biofuel-driven soybean oil and corn use.
