USDA: Private exporters reported sales of 105,000 metric tons (3.9 mb) of soybeans for delivery to unknown destinations during the 2026/2027 marketing year. Grain and soy markets are very firm, led by soybeans as more harvest delays are expected with heavy rain falling in parts of the central and western Midwest.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 50.98 points and the NASDAQ is up 139.03 points. The livestock complex is again trading mixed as the cattle contracts inch higher while the lean hog complex are trading lower. Some light trade developed on Tuesday in the North at mostly $350 but the week's trade has thus far been extremely light -- not enough to say that any sort of a trend has been established.
