Hot, dry weather and confirmed China buying lift corn, soybean and wheat futures to six-week highs
AI Market Summary
U.S. grain futures surged on intensifying heat/drought risk in the U.S. Midwest and Europe, confirmed Chinese soybean buying, and rising Black Sea shipping disruption concerns. USDA's latest balance-sheet adjustments (lower old-crop corn carryover and slightly reduced wheat output) reinforce a tighter supply narrative. Near-term market sensitivity should remain elevated to weather forecasts, export headlines, and geopolitical developments affecting global grain flows.

U.S. corn, soybean and wheat futures jumped, with SRW and HRW wheat touching six-week highs. December corn rose 9 cents to $4.61, November soybeans gained 9 1/4 cents to $11.90 3/4, September SRW wheat added 20 1/2 cents to $6.40 1/4, and September HRW wheat climbed 22 cents to $6.76 1/4. Prices were supported by hot, dry weather in the U.S. Midwest and parts of Europe, confirmed Chinese purchases of 264,000 MT of U.S. soybeans, and heightened Black Sea shipping risks. USDA’s monthly report also reduced old-crop corn carryover and slightly trimmed U.S. all-wheat production, reinforcing supply-tightening expectations.
