⑴ Chicago corn, wheat, and soybean futures continued to be weak on Tuesday, holding steady near multi-month lows. The latest weekly crop ratings from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show corn rated at 68% good to excellent and soybeans at 66%, both up 1 percentage point from the previous week. Spring wheat was rated 55% good to excellent, up 3 percentage points, reflecting generally favorable crop-growing weather in the Midwest. ⑵ Winter wheat crop ratings, affected by drought, remain near historic lows, but weekly scores have improved, and the harvest is progressing faster than analysts expected, partially easing supply concerns. ⑶ Crude oil prices have fallen to a three-month low, adding further pressure to the grain market. However, traders are also watching to see if softer prices will stimulate a new round of buying from importing countries. Algeria has issued a tender to purchase wheat for August shipment, signaling potential buying interest. ⑷ Peak Trading Research noted that the grain market is seasonally bearish, with recent fund selling indicating further downside potential. The overall favorable U.S. weather outlook and expectations of ample supply continue to suppress prices. ⑸ The next points of focus are on the wheat harvest progress in the Northern Hemisphere, U.S. planted acreage data at the end of the month, and the spillover effect of crude oil price movements on sentiment in the agricultural markets.
