“Grain markets were lower last night as yesterday afternoon President Donald Trump reiterated plans to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico [starting] Feb. 1,” said Naomi Blohm, senior market advisor at Total Farm Marketing. “This is weighing on grains.”
Blohm also said it’s important to focus on making cash sales right now. “Grain markets are at a critical juncture of uncertainty,” she said. “Fundamentals are balanced, but a trade war/tariffs might be the leading negative fundamental factor in the short term.”
