Daily Market Update – 9/2/2025

Futures Recap

Weather Outlook

Global: Brazil sees early corn planting progress, with scattered rains forecast to relieve hot, dry conditions. Europe’s wheat areas remain stable.
U.S.: Frost risk later this week in MN & WI as temps dip into the mid-30s. August dryness set records in parts of the Ohio Valley & Mid-South.
NE Kansas: Crops finishing fast under dry, warm conditions; late beans showing stress.

Macro Drivers

Tariff Ruling: A federal court struck down parts of Trump-era tariffs, creating uncertainty for U.S.–China trade. Appeals expected.
China Trade Watch: China still buying soybeans from South America; no fresh U.S. sales confirmed.
Fund Positioning: CFTC data showed funds adding to corn, soybean, and wheat length. Net long in soybeans now strongest since late June.

Market Commentary

Corn: Prices eased after Friday’s rally. Funds cut net shorts but remain cautious. Export and crop progress data delayed by the holiday. Dec25 corn down 3 ¼ at the break.
Soybeans: Futures slipped toward $10.45 support. Dry August could trim yields, but Chinese demand remains the missing piece. Nov25 soybeans down 13 ½ at the break.
Wheat: Gains into month-end faded. ABARES pegged Aussie wheat at 33.8 MMT, slightly lower YoY but still above average. KC Dec25 wheat down 9 ¾ at the break.
Cattle: Packers increased slaughter to a six-week high. Seasonal beef weakness expected, but firm cash cattle could offset.

  Ag Fun Fact

  Each fall, U.S. farmers harvest more than 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins—enough to bake over 2 billion pies. Illinois alone grows about half the nation’s pumpkins, thanks to its rich soils and perfect fall weather.
