Grain prices diverged sharply last week, with corn the weakest as collapsing ethanol prices, now under $0.90/gallon, prompted plant shutdowns. Soybeans and wheat gained, and soybean meal rose $38 a ton, a 12.7% gain, as Argentina's coronavirus lockdown reduced its exports.

Ethanol plant closures cut corn demand and DDGS output, which weighs on corn and feed co-product supply. Argentine export restrictions tighten soymeal supply and support prices.

Ethanol prices under $0.90/gal and plant shutdowns cut corn grind demand and DDGS output, which explains why corn was the weakest grain heading into the 23 March move.
Soymeal had gained 12.7% (+$38/t) in a week on Argentina's lockdown, so the market was stretched and prone to profit-taking and mean reversion.
