Last week's U.S. export inspections were at the high end of expectations (above on #wheat). No #corn or #soybeans were inspected for China but 2 wheat cargoes and 1 sorghum were. Wheat insp. YOY went from -17% last week to -5% this week.

July 31: CBOT Dec #corn takes a significant dive (17.25 cents; 3.2%) on an improved U.S. weather outlook.  Monday's settle of $5.13/bu is 59.25 cents (10%) off last Monday's high, which had been motivated by both poor U.S. weather and port strikes in Ukraine.

November #soybeans plunged 50.75 cents (3.7%) on Monday. A wetter forecast for US beans is exactly what they need, and also end-of-month positioning could be considered here. Monday's settle of $13.31-3/4 per bu is $1.03 (7.2%) off last Monday's high.

Same story for CBOT #wheat: futures fell 38.5 cents (5.5%) Monday - pulling back from the war-induced rally that started two weeks ago. Almost all of the recent premium added over the Russia/Ukraine conflict has now been removed.

#Ukraine exported 40% less grain in July versus June due to #Russia's departure from the grain deal and the slower activity leading up to it. Ukraine's vegoil exports (mostly sunflower oil) were 7% higher in July vs June.
