“The situation in Ukraine is so unstable right now and all these developments with drone strikes are proving that nothing lasts,” says Nick Tsiolis, founder of Farmer’s Keeper. “We saw some profit taking this morning in corn and wheat, and then volatility spilled over to the upside once insurers announced they will no longer insure vessels. That essentially halts all traffic regardless of any political negotiations. Also, poor U.S. wheat conditions are leading to more concerns about supply.”

Corn ended the day up 5¢. Soybeans are up 26¢.

Naomi Blohm with Total Farm Marketing says soybeans spiked upon news of truckers blocking roads in Brazil in protest of this weekend’s election results. The trucks have been ordered to move and Blohm says soybean prices should come down.
