The USDA's September 30, 2026 quarterly stocks report showed corn inventories well above market expectations, a bearish signal for the feed grain, while wheat stocks came in below forecasts and soybean stocks were slightly supportive, according to an analysis by ADM Investor Services.
US corn and wheat futures recovered from multi-week lows on October 1, 2026, while soybeans fell across the complex. Key market drivers included a record-high US winter wheat acre abandonment rate, a sharp cut to Russia's wheat export forecast, surging US soybean export commitments led by China, and record combined biodiesel and renewable diesel production in July.
Corn, soybean, and wheat futures all closed lower on 23 September 2026, pressured by weak ethanol output, lower EU and UK crop forecasts from Coceral, ongoing Black Sea military strikes, and shifting South American production outlooks, according to an ADM Investor Services market commentary.
Grain and oilseed futures closed mostly lower on 22 September 2026, according to ADM Investor Services analyst Mark Soderberg. Corn drifted back toward session lows while managed money extended a long position that ADMIS described as a potential record high. Soybeans finished mixed, soybean meal protein value reached a seven-month high, and wheat futures fell sharply amid ongoing Black Sea conflict and softening global supply signals.
A stronger US dollar, rising exchange stocks, and weather-driven supply concerns across key producing regions pushed soft commodity futures lower on 23 September 2026, according to ADM Investor Services (ADMIS). Cotton, coffee, and cocoa all faced headwinds, while sugar held gains amid broad output concerns linked to El Niño and ethanol demand in Brazil.
