USDA: Private exporters reported export sales of 136,000 mt (5 million bushels) of soybeans to China for 2026-27.

Overall, neutral to bullish changes from USDA in Friday's WASDE are also likely supporting prices into the new week. As for wheat, Russia's halting of shipping through the Kerch Strait helped to fuel the bullish jump on Friday as well as Sunday evening, with a quarter of the world's largest wheat export program normally shipped out of the ports in the Sea of Azov.

Meanwhile the lean hog complex is starting the week off mildly supported, hoping that strong consumer interest and strong packer demand will remain the theme this week.
