National Grain Market Summary:

Compared to last week, cash bids for wheat were mostly higher, corn and sorghum were mixed, while soybeans were lower. As expected, new tariffs of $34 billion from each, the U.S. and China, went into effect early Friday and the overall market response has been mild, even as the U.S. threatens to impose more. The other bearish risk for soybeans is that the U.S. will have another big fall harvest and so far, that is looking probable. Corn is being indirectly affected by the soybean tariffs as buyers bow out of the market. World wheat production estimates are expected to drop slightly next week, but prices still remain bearish as global stocks are still plentiful. Wheat was steady to 18 cents higher. Corn was 4 to 17 cents higher. Soybeans were 36 1/4 to 38 1/4 cents higher. Sorghum was 15 1/4 cents higher.
