For the week ending October 24, US grain inspections for export totaled 2.58 million metric tons, unchanged week on week and 19% below the 3-year average. Corn inspections fell 34% and wheat fell 10%, while soybean inspections rose 18%.
Panama Canal tonnage in fiscal 2019 rose 6.2% year on year.
Weak corn and wheat export inspections signal softer foreign demand for US supplies, which is bearish for those prices, while the soybean rebound offers some support.
