Morning Grain Comments 8-14-2026 – The grain markets were higher overnight after opening mostly steady with corn and wheat trading a little lower early in the session. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “the grain markets are higher this morning digesting the latest news on the Iran/US War and Russia/Ukraine War…” In world grain trade news, CONAB increased their estimate of the corn crop in Brazil to 5.6 billion bushels and lowered their soybean production estimate to 6.6 billion bushels, and China purchased 53.1 million bushels of new crop soybeans from the U.S. At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning Kansas City September wheat was 12.75 cents higher, Chicago September corn was up 5.25 cents, and Chicago November soybeans were 6.25 cents lower. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
Afternoon Grain Comments 8-13-2026 –Commodities were up and down again this afternoon. The main story of the day was a story, from unknown sources, that were reported by a reputable news source that Ukraine had reached out to Russia through a third party in regards to a truce on civilian targets. In the Stone X Grain Recap they said, “Some experts dismissed the story outright, but it was republished by various unrelated companies throughout the session. The problem is that it is so plausible and in line with what would occur that the market must treat it as true.” So, as with so much information during this conflict, nobody is sure what to think. In corn news a day after the WASDE release Stone X states, “the debate now is whether the USDA’s yield of yesterday is the base yield for the year or whether the agency just refines it a bushel either way.” Time will tell as ProFarmer will take up crop estimating with their tour starting 8/17. Wheat, today, was driven by the story mentioned above. Stone X stated that, “the soybean rally stalls because the market shifted from being hyper focused on the yield to USDA published yesterday and looked holistically at the production situation. The ne changes to the carryout came from a bump in crush and the equivalent of a .6bu/acre yield increase, with virtually nothing else happening globally.”At the close today Kansas City September wheat was just about even closing down less than a penny down, Chicago September corn was down 9 cents while Chicago November beans closed down a penny.
