   Crop Selloff Continues as US Harvests Advance

   Soybean futures were unable to sustain an early Tuesday bounce following
Monday's macro-inspired selloff, with most row crop futures lower as a general
bearish cloud remains over markets. Slightly lower energy prices were also a
source of weakness for grains on Tuesday. Overall, the market is also suffering
from a lack of news to break prices out of their recent lower trends. Without a
spark, the safe bet for traders is to continue the length liquidation seen over
the past two months with buyers currently not wanting to risk "catching a
falling knife." In other macro news, the U.S. dollar has moved higher for three
straight sessions and remains among 2026 highs and also a source of pressure to
export sensitive Ag markets.
