Soybeans Continue Stronger | Monday, November 3, 2025

January soybeans were up 7¼¢ at $11.22½ per bushel.

“Corn, soybeans, and wheat are all stronger to start the week as light new-month buying has taken place. Cooling trade tensions with China are a primary reason for this as China bought a reported seven U.S. soybean vessels last week along with some wheat,” said Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting. He continued that U.S. harvest is winding down. “We did see a bump in farmer selling on last week’s rally, but not nearly as much as buyers had hoped for. U.S. basis values all firmed last week on slow deliveries and added demand, putting more pressure on domestic processing margins.”
