National Grain Market Summary:

Compared to last week, cash bids for wheat and corn were mixed, while sorghum and soybeans were lower. The Brazilian transit strike is still a major factor in the global market. Congestion at the ports has delayed shipments of soybeans that could shift some of those to the U.S. as an origination point. USDA said last week's export sales and shipments of corn totaled 6.5 and 69.4 million bushels respectively, hitting extremes on either end that are neutral, overall. Last week's sales and shipments of soybeans totaled 11.1 and 36.4 million bushels, a neutral combination that put total shipments down 8% from a year ago. Wheat bookings came in at a respectable 17 million bu. China tariff talk has affected the grain and soybean markets, but is also affecting U.S. meat exports as well. Last week's beef and pork export sales were down 25% and 35% respectively. Concerns are continuing to build over the impact the tariff standoff will have on the U.S. ag economy. Wheat was mixed from 29 3/4 cents lower to 2 cents higher. Corn was from 15 3/4 cents lower to 7 cents higher. Sorghum was 9 to 11 cents lower. Soybeans were 42 3/4 to 46 ¾ cents lower.
