We track a likely end to the shutdown, the return of critical USDA data, and fresh China commitments that pushed soybeans out of a grinding range. Rates, tariffs, and biofuel policy collide with export flows to shape a fragile but improving demand story.

• partial USDA reopenings and FSA payment backlogs
• NASS crop production and WASDE returning mid-November
• Fed uncertainty keeps dollar firm and bonds soft

• FMC slide as a warning for inputs and LATAM credit
• basis improvements at PNW and NOLA as the demand signal
