For the 5th week in a row, grains and energies open higher Sunday night and falter into the Monday morning session.

April 6, 2026

Futures were initially called slightly higher ahead of Sunday’s open, but that early optimism didn’t hold, as for the fifth week in a row, energies in grains turned lower after the initial higher start. Wheat started the session unchanged and quickly slipped lower, declining in the evening nearly 10 cents in short order. This quickly put selling pressure on corn and soybeans in the early evening hours. The tone feels cautious, even as outside markets try to lend support. Crude oil, for example, pushed another $2.50 higher to $114.25 before easing back, a pattern that reflects broader uncertainty rather than conviction.
