Morning Grain Comments 7-27-2026 – The grains ended the night session lower with corn and soybeans trading lower throughout the session and leaving gaps of 2 to 3 cents while Kansas City wheat opened higher and traded in the green for a time befoe corn and soybeans settled into trading solidly double digit lower. StoneX reported that a news release from Russia that claimed attacks on Ukraine ports, stating they hit infrastructure that was supportive to military operations there. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “the grains clearly found an opportunity to take profits off recent move highs, opening lower last night and declining further from there with WTI crude oil down around $6/bbl. Military operations are "on hold" in the Middle East, though shipping remains slow through the Strait of Hormuz and activity continues to ramp up in the Black Sea. U.S. weather remains generally unfavorable but just-in-time rains continue to roll through the Midwest…” The overnight trade volume was big with Deceember corn and November soybeans leading the way. At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning Kansas City September wheat was 7 cents lower, Chicago September corn was 13 cents lower, and Chicago September soybeans were 33.25 cents lower. Have a wonderful day.
Afternoon Grain Comments 7-24-2026 – It was a brutal day for wheat today after rallying Tuesday and Wednesday. The StoneX afternoon grain comments stated “While the US-Iran conflict dominates the energy sector, the Russia-Ukraine conflict dominates the grain markets, as headlines steered the markets in unison while rumors and counter-rumors circulated. Late in the night session and early in the day session, a relatively detailed story claimed that Ukraine and Russia were two possible solutions to the current stall in ocean-bound grain trade. The first solution requires ships to announce their registration and approved affiliations, which would be allowed to enter port without risk of attack. The list of approved countries would be short and would likely include China, India, and several Arab nations. The second option rumored was a temporary ceasefire window of 2 to three days, allowing vessels to enter and leave the ports. The market was awash with selling across the board, with few markets untouched. Wheat took the greatest hit and was pressed almost 40 cents lower. By 9:00 am Chicago time, there began a Quasi-Denial from Ukraine’s Minister of Agrarian Policy, who said that no meeting between Russia and Ukraine was upcoming nor agreements regarding separate mechanisms for vessels being made. The market forces reversed and bounced higher. Wheat didn’t recover all of its losses, as qualifiers in the denial, left doubt that the first rumor was a flat lie.” At the close today cash wheat was 15 cents lower, corn and milo were even with Thursday’s closes, and soybeans ended the day a dime lower. For the week, wheat was up 13 cents, corn and milo were 19 cents higher, and soybeans were 51 cents higher. Have a great weekend.
