Corn, soybean futures sag under weight of big US crops

US corn and soybean futures fell to multi-month lows as large domestic harvests continued to weigh on prices, with corn approaching a four-month low and soybeans hitting a 2-1/2-month low. December corn closed down 4.25 cents at $4.40 per bushel, while January soybeans dropped 14 cents to $11.88¼; analysts expect the USDA to report a record-large soybean harvest next week. Rising US crop supplies could maintain downward pressure on corn and soybean prices, while wheat may remain sensitive to developments surrounding Black Sea shipping access.

Corn, soy bids mostly higher as farmers hesitate to sell

Corn and soybean basis bids across the US Midwest were mostly steady to higher as low futures prices discouraged farmers from selling their remaining grain supplies. Analysts expect the USDA to slightly reduce its corn production estimate to 15.962 billion bushels while raising its soybean production forecast to a record 4.597 billion bushels. Continued farmer selling resistance could support cash grain basis levels, although large harvest supplies and weak futures prices may pressure corn and soybean markets.

CBOT corn ends lower under pressure from large US harvest

CBOT corn futures closed lower, trading near a four-month low as expectations of a historically large US harvest continued to pressure prices. The USDA is expected to estimate the 2026 US corn crop at 15.962 billion bushels, which would rank as the second-largest harvest on record, while weekly export sales reached 1.3 million metric tons. Continued large crop supplies could keep pressure on corn futures despite steady export demand.

EU wheat edges lower on Black Sea trade hopes and strong euro

European wheat futures fell 0.6% to €222.75 per ton as hopes for renewed Black Sea grain exports and a stronger euro weighed on prices. Traders are watching upcoming Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi, while Russian wheat exports reached an estimated 3.1–3.2 million tons in October and Ukrainian rail grain exports climbed 26% month-on-month to 1.08 million tons. A potential resumption of Black Sea shipments could intensify downside pressure on wheat prices, although ongoing attacks on ships and ports continue to provide a geopolitical risk premium.
