Posted 10:42 -- December corn is up 9 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 19 1/4 cents, December KC wheat is down 2 cents, December Chicago wheat is up 3 1/4 cents and December MIAX wheat is down 2 1/4 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 147.60 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.160 and October crude oil is down $2.23 per barrel. December gold is up $40.00 per ounce. At mid-morning corn is still up sharply on the crop tour yield estimate, while beans are lower after the tour pegged the soy yield at a new record high. Wheat is mixed but well off the early morning highs as the Black Sea shipping issues still remain.
Posted 08:33 -- December corn is up 8 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 10 1/2 cents, December KC wheat is up 5 3/4 cents, December Chicago wheat is up 9 cents and December MIAX wheat is up 3 1/2 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 72.64 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.130 and October crude oil is down $1.21 per barrel. December gold is up $53.20 per ounce. Corn and soybeans are moving in opposite directions after last week's crop tour slashed corn yield and printed a record-large bean yield. Wheat is modestly higher on the continued Black Sea export problems. Bean oil is down hard with crude oil weakness.
Posted 19:12 Sunday -- December corn is up 9 1/4 cents and November soybeans are down 3 1/2 cents. September KC wheat is up 6 1/4 cents, September Chicago wheat is up 6 3/4 cents, and September MIAX Minneapolis wheat is up 3/4 cents. October crude oil is down $1.01 and Dow Jones futures are up 3 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is unchanged and December gold is up $9.90. To begin the new week, corn futures are strong out of the gate after ProFarmer's Midwest tour estimated an average U.S. corn yield of 173.2 bushels per acre (bpa) -- considerably lower than the 180.7 bpa USDA forecast and would be the lowest U.S. yield in six years if accurate. Meanwhile, soybeans are under mild pressure after the same tour found a record yield forecast of 53.3 bpa, which would extend the already record large 2026 crop forecast if realized. Overall, grain futures enter the final trading week of August on a hot streak, with wheat also supported by the ongoing export cutoff in the Black Sea.
