🌍 Geopolitics
🤝 The U.S. and Iran reached a tentative deal to end the war. The agreement includes releasing $25B in assets and lifting oil sanctions, while Iran commits to no nuclear weapons.
🚢 Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, and the U.S. will lift its naval blockade. More details are expected in follow-up talks, with the deal set to be signed Friday.
🌽 Grain Markets
🟡 Soybeans slipped (Nov ’26: $11.32, -2¢) under pressure from good weather and weaker crude.
🌽 Corn rebounded late (Dec ’26: ~$4.40, +1¢) but still faces headwinds from energy markets, favorable weather, and big South American crop expectations.
🌾 Wheat also moved lower on ample global supplies.
🌦️ Weather
⛈️ Severe storms swept the Corn Belt over the weekend, bringing heavy rain, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Some areas saw flooding.
🌡️ Temps stay above normal this week (not extreme), with more scattered rain ahead—heaviest in central and eastern areas. Overall tone remains bearish for grains.
📊 Funds (CFTC)
🐻 Funds turned net short corn (sold 121k contracts), the largest sell-off since May ’25.
🌱 Soybean longs shrank (sold 58k), now the smallest since February.
🌾 Wheat also saw selling (23k contracts).
🥩 Cattle
🏭 JBS is closing plants in Pennsylvania and Memphis, shifting cattle elsewhere.
🐄 With the herd at a 75-year low, tight supplies are driving record cattle prices and heavy packer losses.
⚖️ Short term: too much capacity vs. cattle. Long term: less capacity is negative for the industry.
