Soybeans Surge 50¢! What's Driving the Rally?

This week in the grain markets, weather, export demand, and global tensions kept traders on their toes. Corn finished the week nearly 22 cents higher as hot, dry forecasts during the critical pollination period added a weather premium. Soybeans led the rally, climbing more than 50 cents on the week thanks to strong export demand, including continued buying from China, along with weather concerns. Wheat saw the most volatility, surging to multi-year highs early in the week on Black Sea supply concerns before pulling back sharply Friday as traders took profits ahead of the weekend. In this week's discussion, we're joined by market analyst Jerry Gidel, who breaks down the key factors driving these moves. We discuss the impact of Midwest weather, global geopolitical developments, export demand, fund activity, and what these market signals could mean for producers and grain marketing decisions in the weeks ahead.
