Soybean futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange fell due to profit taking and weakness in crude oil, despite lower-than-expected crop data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Brazil's 2024-25 soybean plantings reached 67%, up from the previous week. Wheat futures also fell due to noticeable moisture in the U.S. Plains wheat crop, making a shortage of winter wheat less likely. Corn futures also fell due to profit-taking and weakness in crude oil. Russian wheat export prices and shipments were lower due to muted international demand and new export rules aimed at preventing domestic price spikes. However, new Russian export rules inadvertently helped Ukraine secure lucrative sales to Egypt's GASC last week. Russia's weekly grain exports are estimated at 0.77 million tonnes, down from 1.19 million tonnes the previous week.
