Desk View — 9 October 2026: France pays for wheat and corn on hand, US wheat and corn struggle to find buyers

French cash wheat and corn hold firm against futures in the middle of harvest, while US wheat and corn export sales cover a smaller share of the USDA programme than in any recent season. We are bullish on Euronext milling wheat, Euronext corn and CBOT soybean oil, bearish on CBOT SRW wheat, CBOT corn, soybean meal and Euronext rapeseed, and neutral on HRW wheat, soybeans and canola.

    Nobody wants to take delivery of November rapeseed

    Euronext's November contract has dropped 46.5 €/t under February, almost all of it in the front month, while canola and soybean curves held. French cash is following it down, into a crush running below its usual pace.

    The northern harvest is late, and nobody is paying for it

    US soybeans are a week behind and Saskatchewan canola two and a half, yet cash markets trade as if the harvest were on time. With bins this full, the delay postpones the selling rather than cancelling it.
