Strong U.S. corn sales, weak wheat exports, harvest progress, cheaper Russian wheat, constrained Ukrainian grain flows, falling crude prices, and today’s U.S. midterm elections.

Grains started the week little changed, with wheat showing some signs of stabilizing, while corn briefly touched fresh multi-month lows.
The performance was relatively resilient, given a more than 7% plunge in crude oil, which dragged the broader commodity complex lower.
USDA reported private sales of 1.73 million metric tons, including 1.14 million for 2026 to 2027 and 594,000 tons for 2027 to 2028.
The business improves the U.S. export outlook, but the muted futures reaction shows harvest pressure and recent fund liquidation are still dominating.
