Last week, futures saw mixed movement as traders assessed the latest export data, geopolitical shifts, and weather forecasts influencing global grain supplies.
The global grain and oilseed markets experienced significant volatility this week, driven by geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and evolving weather conditions across key growing regions.
Global grain markets face volatility as China redirects wheat imports, Brazil’s soybean harvest lags, and Argentina battles drought. Meanwhile, shifting trade policies, fluctuating export data, and evolving weather conditions continue to shape supply and demand across wheat, corn, and soybean markets.
China has halted the import of 600,000 tons of wheat, mostly from Australia, which has been offered to other buyers due to high domestic supply and reduced demand.
While wheat, corn, and soybean futures saw mixed movements, broader market trends, including U.S.-China tariff tensions, South American drought conditions, and shifting global demand, continue to shape the agricultural landscape.
