Soybean and Corn futures rose while wheat hit weekly lows.

Soybean futures rebounded after three consecutive lower sessions, supported by the largest monthly volume of export sales. July soybean futures rose to 1201'4, despite ending stocks remaining 16% above the five-year average. Corn futures also firmed to post seasonal highs on an export sales surge of 71% for this time of year, with the July contract closing at 467'6 alongside an uptick in crude oil. Conversely, Wheat futures faced downward pressure, extending to a new weekly low as July wheat settled down at 643'0. The decline in wheat was driven by export shipments falling below USDA estimates and forecasted rain in drought-stricken production regions, prompting options traders to shift from calls to puts.
