Strong Demand Lifts Soybeans Friday, While Wheat Maintains Momentum Into Weekend
DTN Closing Grain Comments
U.S. wheat futures capped a bullish week with a strong close, sitting directly below 2026 highs for KC futures while Chicago futures hit a new high point in over two-years early Thursday. Traders are currently weighing the long-term risks and uncertainty tied to disrupted grain trade in the Black Sea, with few reports of improvements to the situation. Corn and soybeans were supported at the close of the week as well, with demand a bright spot within the soybean market. The corn market was sluggish through the second half of this week with next week’s forecasts calling for cooler temperatures across the U.S. Grain Belt. However, it is difficult to say the risk to the corn crop is over, with a dry outlook still in the cards for the Western Corn Belt over the next week to ten days. Outside markets on Friday leaned mostly positive influence on ag futures, with firm energy markets as crude oil traded to its highest mark in over a month as the war between the U.S. and Iran continues to escalate.

Markets

Friday looks to be a quiet day for reports, with CFTC to release their weekly Commitments of Traders report at 2:30 p.m. CDT, wrapping up the week with a look into trader positions as of Tuesday, July 14. Otherwise, traders will continue to monitor the ongoing conflicts in the Black Sea and Persian Gulf, as well as U.S. weather which will remain critical for the next 30-45 days.

Weather

A large plume of wildfire smoke continues to work across the Great Lakes and into the Mid-Atlantic on Friday. In addition, isolated showers will expand across the region as a system moves through Ontario. Both should help to cut temperatures back a few degrees, but high heat continues in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
