“Grain and soybean futures showed limited movement in very quiet early trading as market participants watched for fresh news to drive price direction,” said The Brock Report, speaking of the overnight session. “Mostly favorable U.S. weather for corn and soybean growth and winter wheat harvest continued to weigh on prices and kept a tight lid on buying interest, while technically oversold market conditions limited selling. Trading may remain cautious this morning as traders even positions ahead of Friday’s monthly USDA [World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE)] report, while keeping an eye on weather and awaiting fresh news on U.S. tariff policy.”
