Agricultural markets diverged during October 12–17 as supply weighed on grains, while coffee and sugar found separate support.
🌾 Corn, soybeans and wheat remained under pressure from U.S. supplies and harvesting activity. At the October 16 close, December corn traded near USD 4.74 per bushel, November soybeans at USD 12.61 and December wheat around USD 6.60.
🚜 The USDA’s October supply and demand report raised projected U.S. corn production to 16.034 billion bushels, reinforcing expectations of ample supply. Drier weather supported harvesting and brought more crops to market, although earlier progress remained below the multiyear average.
🫘 Soybeans received some support from Chinese purchases, but buying was insufficient to outweigh seasonal supply pressure. Sustained export demand would provide a stronger foundation for a recovery than isolated orders.
☕ Coffee and sugar found support from supply concerns. Declining certified coffee inventories increased sensitivity to weather risks, while rainfall in Brazil threatened to disrupt sugarcane harvesting. This divergence highlights the importance of supply and demand conditions specific to each commodity.
🔎 U.S. harvest progress, export orders and Brazilian weather will be key factors next week. Continued arrivals of newly harvested crops could limit grain price recoveries, while weather disruptions or stronger buying could provide support.
