U.S. Soybean Inspections Fall Off From Prior Week

By Kirk Maltais

Inspections of U.S. soybean exports fell back from levels of over 1 million metric tons seen last week, according to data from the Department of Agriculture.

In its weekly report, the USDA said that soybean inspections for the week ended March 26 totaled 586,427 tons. That's down from 1.11 million tons reported at this time last week, as well as 817,870 tons at this time last year. Wheat inspections were also down from this time both last week and last year, totaling 364,219 tons this week.

Corn shipments inspected were slightly higher than this time both last week and last year, totaling 1.79 million tons, according to the USDA.

China remained the lead destination for U.S. soybeans for the week, totaling 270,424 tons. Mexico was the lead destination for U.S. corn, and Japan was the top place for wheat.

CBOT grain futures are mixed in trading Monday, ahead of the USDA's yearly Prospective Planting report due out Tuesday, as well as its quarterly Grain Stocks report. Most-active corn falls 0.6%, soybeans are up 0.7%, and wheat is up 0.9%.
