Wheat futures rallied 45.5 cents amid new soybean flash sales.

In today's agricultural markets, grain futures closed the week in the green, highlighted by a massive 45.5-cent weekly rally in December Chicago Wheat futures. December Corn futures and November Soybean futures also finished higher, adding 6.5 cents and 12 cents for the week, respectively. The USDA reported three significant soybean flash sales for the 2026-2027 marketing year, including 340,000 metric tons to China and 256,634 metric tons to Mexico. Meanwhile, market participants closely monitored the Midwest weather forecast. While the 6-to-10-day outlook shows cooler temperatures, the 8-to-14-day models forecast a return to higher heat, which could have substantial implications on yield potential for both corn and soybeans.
