Soybeans Open 4¢ Weaker. Friday, July 25, 2025

After 9:00 a.m. CT, December corn was down 1¼¢ at $4.19½ per bushel.

November soybeans were down 4¢ at $10.20¼ per bushel.

“The trade continues to receive mixed crop reports, with most indicating the ‘top end’ of the U.S. corn crop has been lost.” Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting said, “This actually raises more questions on production and demand. Until the USDA cuts production from either yield or acreage adjustments the market will be slow to react.”

He added, “Low prices have continued to attract importer interest on corn, but wheat buyers continue to show more interest in U.S. offers. Price is one reason for this, but logistics are also a factor. Brazil logistics remain a mess and exports are suffering.”
