> U.S. grain export inspections for the week ending November 14 totaled 2.71 million metric tons, up 6% from the prior week but down 20% from the three-year average.

## Why it matters

Export inspections are running below average, which is mildly bearish for U.S. corn and soybean prices. Lower forecast crude and diesel costs would ease fuel surcharges for grain transport.
