Afternoon Grain Comments 4-17-2026 – The grain markets were again under the influence of conflict activity, or the lack thereof, in Iran as crude oil sold off and other commodities fell. The market most directly impacted by that sell off should have been soybeans but they managed a small gain today with Indonesia increasing their commitment to using vegetable oil as fuel. One comment regarding that this afternoon was that if government policy can drive a market that same policy can be un-done to make it go the other way. The wheat market fell today with that commodity sell off with promises of rain in the forecast but wheat had a good week of gains. At the close today cash wheat ended the day 6 cents lower, corn and milo were even with Thursday’s closes, and soybeans ended the day 3 cents higher. For the week, wheat was up 46 cents, corn and milo were 8 cents higher, and soybeans were 9 cents lower. Have a great weekend.
Morning Grain Comments 4-17-2026 – The grains all had two-sided night sessions with values all in the red late in the session with wheat spending much of the session in positive territory but ended at it’s session low while soybeans spent much of the session lower and corn trading in a 3.5-cent range around Thursday’s close. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “grain action was fairly slow overnight with the soybean complex weighed down by crude oil, while wheat tries to round out the week’s rally on a host of concerns for the HRWW crop. Early corn and bean planting prospects still aren’t great, but next week should open up a brief window, and that’s all U.S. farmers need to make a sizeable dent in planting progress…” The trade volume overnight was about an average session with July corn leading the volume followed closely by May corn then May soybeans a ways back then July soybeans. At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning, May Kansas City wheat was 4.5 cents lower, Chicago May corn was down 0.75 cent, and Chicago May soybeans were 5.25 cents lower. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
