🌾 Daily Market Update – Tuesday, July 15, 2025

📉 Grain Market Snapshot

Corn and beans eased lower today as favorable crop ratings and export slowdowns continue to apply pressure, despite Monday’s short-lived bounce.

🌦️ Weather Outlook: Rain Now, Heat Next

🌎 Global Weather Briefs

• Europe: Hot, dry stretch still stressing wheat and oilseed crops.

• Russia: Improved central rainfall, but southern areas remain dry.

• China: Drought persists in wheat belt; southern flooding impacting transport.

🇺🇸 U.S. Weather – Rain Returns, But Heat Builds

• Short-Term (5–10 day): Rainfall across most of the Corn Belt helping maintain soil moisture levels.

• Medium-Term (8–14 day): CropProphet calling for temps +4.3°F above average. Heat could re-emerge as a stressor during pollination.

🌽 Northeast Kansas

• Weekend rainfall (.4–.8”) helped hold conditions steady.

• Corn is mostly in tassel/silk, soybeans are R1–R2.

• Warm, humid nights may start limiting grain fill potential next week if temperatures spike.

🌐 Macro & Market Drivers

📈 Monday’s Rally Fades

• Monday’s corn rebound (+6¢ off lows) was driven by short-covering and bargain buying.

• Tuesday saw follow-through fizzle as favorable weather, strong crop conditions, and tariff noise from the Trump camp pressured sentiment.

💪 Crop Conditions Remain Strong

• Corn: 74% good-to-excellent

• Soybeans: 70% G/E

• Only 5% rated poor/very poor—top-end potential still intact

🌾 Wheat & Brazil Updates

• Winter wheat harvest: 63% complete (slower than average)

• Spring wheat: 54% good-to-excellent (up from 50%)

• Brazil safrinha corn: 40% harvested vs. 74% last year

  • Despite slow progress, production still forecast at 132 MMT (record)

🚢 Export Summary

Weak soybean exports continue to reflect soft demand from China. Corn and wheat shipments mixed.

₿ Crypto & Macro

• Bitcoin hit $123,205 Monday (+3.4%), an all-time high

• Congress is debating three crypto bills this week

• $2.7B in ETF inflows last week—5th-best ever

• Crypto volatility remains a key macro sentiment signal

🔮 What to Watch

• Wednesday’s NOAA updates

• NOPA Crush Report (July 19) for signs of bean demand

• Weather model alignment heading into late July

• Geopolitical noise — tariff headlines could trigger volatility

🍉 Fun Ag Fact of the Day: Watermelon Wonders

Did you know?

🍉 Watermelon is 92% water—making it not just a fruit, but a hydration tool!
🇺🇸 The U.S. ranks among the top five global producers, with peak harvest in July.
👨‍🌾 Most U.S. watermelons come from Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, but Kansas and Missouri produce thousands of acres each summer too.
🔍 A ripe watermelon is heaviest for its size, has a yellow “field spot”, and will produce a deep hollow sound when tapped.

Perfect snack for the pollination season!
