Wheat exploded to the upside Wednesday, pulling corn and soybeans along for the ride, as reports of escalating tension in the Russia-Ukraine war rattled the grain complex. Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics joins Market Talk to break down whether this is shaping up like 2022 again, why algorithmic trading keeps amplifying the volatility, and what a $100 crude oil market would mean for wheat prices. Plus, corn’s path to a $6 handle, tightening Ukraine soil moisture, the U.S.-Canada ethanol tariff standoff, and how the fallout from President Trump’s beef import plan is hitting cash cattle prices by $250 to $500 a head.
Mike Zuzolo will also be speaking at a market outlook seminar hosted by three area farm bureaus in Colona, Illinois, near the Quad Cities, on September 10. Learn more and find his research at https://globalcommresearch.com.
