Grain Markets Mixed: Corn Slips, Soybeans Drift, Wheat Holds Key Level
August 4, 2025 — Grain markets opened the week in mixed fashion. Corn slipped lower out of the gate, soybeans continue to drift with no clear momentum, and wheat is attempting to hold its footing near key support. As Monday’s session gets underway, here’s how the technical picture is shaping up across the board.
🌽 September Corn Futures (ZCU25)
Corn futures started the week under pressure, with ZCU25 fading back below Friday’s low and trading near $3.87-4 early Monday. After failing to hold midweek strength, the contract has now dropped back under the $3.89-4 pivot — a level that had served as minor support for most of last week.
- Resistance: $3.91-0
- Support: $3.85-0, then $3.80-0
- Bias: Bearish
🫘 November Soybean Futures (ZSX25)
Soybeans remain in a sideways grind with ZSX25 trading near $9.86-2 early in the session. Momentum remains weak, with no clear trend emerging over the last five days. The contract continues to hover between short-term resistance at $9.91-4 and support at $9.85-0.
- Resistance: $9.91-4
- Support: $9.85-0, then $9.77-0
- Bias: Neutral to Bearish
🌾 September Wheat Futures (ZWU25)
Wheat futures are showing early signs of stabilization after last week’s heavy selling. ZWU25 opened Monday near $5.17-0, holding just above short-term support around $5.13. Although no reversal is confirmed yet, buyers appear to be defending this level, which could form the basis for a technical base if follow-through emerges.
- Support: $5.13-0
- Resistance: $5.22-0
- Bias: Stabilizing
