Soybean and Wheat futures settled lower for the week.

Grain markets finished the week on a softer note as risk-off sentiment weighed on prices ahead of the weekend. Oliver Sloup of Blue Line Futures highlights the performance of May Corn, Soybean, and Chicago Wheat futures, noting significant weekly declines across all three commodities. The commentary breaks down the latest USDA export sales data, where corn met expectations at 1.172 million metric tons while soybeans and wheat both fell below trade estimates. Additionally, Sloup discusses weather developments in Argentina, where recent rains have improved yield prospects for the country's projected 48.5 million metric ton soybean crop as the April harvest window approaches.
