The ag marketplace has been all over the place recently. This week alone saw double-digit moves in both positive and negative directions for corn and soybeans, with both markets finishing the week higher. There are a few major news factors that have led to this heightened volatility. Bill Moore of PRICE Futures Group said there’s a lot of hope that a peace treaty can finally be reached with Iran.
Moore said the markets are also anticipating the May WASDE report, which will offer the first good look at the 2026 crop and likely contain some adjustments to the planted acres.
The soybean markets finished notably higher this week, which Moore said is due to the hope for a successful trade meeting between President Trump and China President Xi Jinping.
