“Grains are currently favoring the upside and soybeans are under light pressure as we see final positioning for [Tuesday’s] WASDE update. No major changes are expected to balance sheets as only demand will be updated this month,” said Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting. “No significant changes are expected to the global side of the report either. Once this data is released trade focus will quickly revert to exports and South American weather for fundamental news.”
