“Corn and soybean futures slipped a bit further in early trade amid continued worries about the impact U.S. tariffs set to take effect on Tuesday will have on agricultural exports, with losses limited by a weaker dollar,” said The Brock Report this morning about the overnight session. “Wheat futures managed modest gains on support from the weaker dollar, dry conditions in the U.S. hard red winter wheat belt, and dwindling Russian exports.”

Earlier this morning USDA announced Mexico is buying 114,000 metric tons of corn for the 2024/2025 marketing year.
