The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reported weekly grain export inspections through the week ending October 29, 2026, totaling 3.41 million metric tons. Soybeans led at 2.44 million tons, below the prior week but well above a year earlier, while corn and wheat inspections were mixed against the prior week.
Strong soybean export inspections signal robust overseas demand, supportive for soybean and meal prices, while weaker wheat shipments point to softer export competition. The weekly data is a routine indicator with limited surprise.
