what happened
Most-active CBOT corn futures fell 1.6% to roughly $4.66 a bushel, according to Market Talk. AgResource notes that prices have slipped under $4.70 a bushel, the support level it identified, which opens the way for a further decline.
The firm describes sentiment as bearish, pointing to rapid US harvest progress under favorable weather and yield figures coming in above expectations, enough to push futures lower.
Soybeans dropped 0.8% to around $12.51 a bushel, while wheat lost 0.9% to about $6.54 a bushel.
why it matters
For grains, the break below a widely watched level signals supply pressure, since sellers often add positions when harvest moves quickly. Traders in agricultural futures will track harvest pace and yield reports in the coming weeks.
