Grain Market Insight
Morning Grain Comments 6-8-2026 – The grain markets were mixed overnight with wheat higher and soybeans and corn a little lower. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “the grains spiked on the open last night but very quickly reversed course; funds were estimated to have cut out almost their entire 345k net corn long in exactly a month, as of Friday. Trade estimates will likely be looking for improved corn and soy ratings this week thanks to recent rains…” That spike higher at the open was corn up 3 cents, wheat 2 cents higher, and soybeans a penny higher. Corn and soybeans turned lower after peaking a little over their respective openings, KC July wheat peaked sometime in the 4:00 hour this morning, just short of making it to double digits higher. Today we should see the export inspections at 10:00 then the crop progress report this afternoon then on Thursday morning we should see the June World Agricultural Supply Demand Estimates at 11:00. At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning Kansas City July wheat was 4.5 cents higher, Chicago July corn was down 2 cents, and Chicago July soybeans were 3.25 cents lower. Have a wonderful day.
Afternoon Grain Comments 6-5-2026 – I thought the grains might have an up day today but the selling continued into the weekend. The main StoneX comment this afternoon stated “Another down day, and the corn futures have moved beyond simply a better weather pattern to a brutal liquidation by the speculative trader and even a shift to a new short. Spot futures hit their lowest level since gut-slot harvest in October 2025 today as at least another 30K contracts were sold in corn futures. It was not just corn, but a commodity-wide sell-off with commodities that have little reason to fall, fell hard today. Gold fell over $150/oz, bean oil down 250 points, and crude oil dropped over $3/barrel.” The wheat market was able to stand the blast of selling with the idea of a smaller U.S. crop and France saw a 2-point decline in their soft wheat crop ratings. At the close today cash wheat was a penny higher, corn and milo were down 7 cents, and soybeans ended the day 8 cents lower. For the week, wheat, corn, and milo were all 29 cents lower and soybeans were 65 cents lower. Have a great weekend.
