U.S. wheat, corn and soybean futures faced modest pressure as grain traders weighed harvest progress, export demand and geopolitical developments.
Wheat fell as planned Russia-Ukraine peace talks and rising Russian exports eased concerns over Black Sea supply disruptions, while the U.S. corn harvest reached 74% completion and soybean sales to China continued.
Further harvest progress and uncertainty around export demand could keep pressure on grain prices, although diplomatic developments and trade flows may shift supply expectations.
