# USDA Grain Inspections: Soybeans Lead Weekly Export Volumes

> USDA export inspections totaled about 3.05 million metric tons for the week ending Nov. 5, down from the prior week but above the year-earlier level. Soybean inspections led at 1.90 million tons, with marketing-year-to-date soybean volumes well above last year; corn inspections were below the year-earlier week, while wheat inspections rose week over week but remained below last year.

## Why it matters

Inspections indicate export demand and shipment flows: the strong year-to-date soybean comparison is supportive for soybeans, while lower year-over-year corn and wheat volumes point to softer export demand and may weigh on prices.
