Soybean, Corn and Wheat futures climbed amid Midwest heat concerns.

Grain markets trended higher across the board as Soybean futures firmed up on potential heat dome concerns over the Midwest. Early pressure from Middle East developments subsided, allowing the November soybean contract to rebound. Corn futures experienced a solid recovery as money managers doubled their long positions in anticipation of potential production cuts in the upcoming USDA report, with significant activity noted across options open interest. Wheat futures joined the rally, bouncing back from oversold conditions and recovering from steep sell-offs over the past two weeks to post a strong 22-cent rally off earlier lows.
