Wheat and soybean prices have retreated slightly after a brief surge driven by short-covering but remain near their highest levels in several weeks. Persistent global supply concerns, including poor European production and weather stress in the U.S. Midwest, continue to influence the market. Traders are preparing for potential price fluctuations amid active speculation.
Wheat (Symbol: Wheat-C) and soybean (Symbol: Soybean-C) prices have experienced minor declines following a short-covering rally that had pushed prices higher from their recent lows. Despite this pullback, both commodities remain close to multi-week highs due to ongoing supply issues.
Wheat prices have dropped to $5.77 per bushel but are still up around 10% from the previous week. Europe’s wheat production has been severely impacted by drought, tightening global supply and supporting recent price increases. The market is now closely watching for potential future disruptions.
Soybean prices have also decreased to $10.16-3/4 per bushel due to stress on about 25% of the U.S. soybean crop from adverse weather conditions. Nonetheless, recent rainfall has alleviated some of this stress. Updated forecasts, including StoneX’s revised U.S. soybean production estimate of 4.575 billion bushels, suggest a strong harvest that might cap further price increases despite short-term weather challenges.
The recent uptick in wheat and soybean prices was primarily due to short-covering by speculators, which has put upward pressure on these markets.

Traders should exercise caution as weather conditions and speculative trading continue to drive soft commodity markets. Wheat prices are likely to remain supported by ongoing European production issues, while soybean prices will be influenced by U.S. weather and potential logistical problems due to low Mississippi River water levels. Traders should monitor weather forecasts closely, as any further dry spells could strain soybean crops and increase price volatility.
