DTN's Quick Takes

OMAHA (DTN) -- March corn is down 1 cent and March soybeans are down 4 1/2 cents on Sunday evening. March Chicago wheat is down 1 1/2 cents, and March MIAX Minneapolis wheat is down 1/4 cents. March crude oil is down $0.30 and Dow Jones futures are up 57 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.07 and April gold is up $62.20. Row crop markets are lower to begin the new week led by continued selling in soybeans after the March board fell more than 20 cents from Friday's highs. For the time being, there is little proof of an extension to Chinese demand for U.S. soybeans into the typically Brazil dominated period, with no reported sales since President Donald Trump's bullish comments last Wednesday and sales pace slowing through the second half of January. Brazilian offers are a steep discount to U.S. prices. Traders will be closely watching the daily export sales announcements at 8 a.m. CST through the upcoming week for demand clues. Otherwise, traders will also be looking to USDA for a WASDE update on Tuesday of this week, which is expected to be a quiet report for the most part but will give a more confident look into South American production of corn and soybeans in 2026.
