Soybean futures are experiencing declines of 9 to 11 cents in the front months, with the cmdtyView national average cash price falling to $10.87 1/2. Soymeal futures are down $3.70 to $5, while soy oil futures have dropped 15 to 25 points. This downturn occurs despite a $2.48 increase in crude oil prices, which has not provided any support for grain markets ahead of President Trump’s deadline regarding Iran.

The upcoming USDA WASDE report, scheduled for release on Thursday, is anticipated to show minimal changes to the U.S. soybean balance sheet, with analysts estimating a carryout of 349 million bushels, slightly down from 350 million in March. This stability in expectations may contribute to the bearish sentiment currently affecting soybean prices.

Market professionals should closely monitor the WASDE report for any surprises that could impact soybean supply forecasts and pricing trends, especially given the current downward trajectory in futures.
