Afternoon Grain Comments 5-15-2026 – The grain markets were lower again today with wheat and soybeans both double digits lower. Iran and the weather continue to be the main drivers for the grains after the meeting between President Trump and President Xi did not give us any new trade agreement to trade on so soybean sellers were at it today removing some of that enthusiasm purchasing that happened in days leading up to the meeting. Not much news for soybeans except the selloff already mentioned but the soybean complex was not a total loss. Wheat continued to be sold off today as we look forward to the crop ratings Monday afternoon and we consider yield estimates and our challenge to find a spot in the world market with Black Sea region wheat significantly below U.S. values. At the close today cash wheat was at the limit 17 cents lower, corn and milo were down a nickel, and soybeans ended the day 16 cents lower. For the week, wheat was 12 cents higher, corn and milo were down 8 cents, and soybeans ended the week 31 cents lower. Have a great weekend.
Morning Grain Comments 5-15-2026 – The grain markets ended the night session lower with wheat lower throughout the session while corn and soybeans both traded about a penny higher but spent most of the session lower. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “the grains started strong last night but profit-taking quickly took over as values plummeted through the early morning hours; no new Chinese purchases have come from the Trump-Xi summit, while dry Midwest weather has allowed the completion of U.S. corn and soybean planting and widespread rains are on the way over the next five days to aid development…” StoneX reported on the Reuters release regarding the wheat tour in Kansas stating, “Wheat yield potential in Kansas was estimated at 38.9 bushels per acre (bpa) on Thursday by crop scouts on an annual Wheat Quality Council tour, the lowest since 2023, reflecting the impact of drought. The figure was below the five-year crop tour average of 45.5 bushels per acre from 2021-2025. The U.S. Agriculture Department on May 12 projected Kansas winter wheat production at 214.6 million bushels with an average yield of 37.0 bushels per acre.” In world grain trade news, KFA in South Korea purchased 2.2 million bushels of corn from South America and MFG in South Korea purchased 2.7 million bushels of corn in a private trade. At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning, July Kansas City wheat was 11 cents lower, Chicago July corn was down 5.75 cents, and Chicago July soybeans were 12.25 cents lower. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
