Welcome to Markets Desk, here's what's moving this Monday.
Wheat led the grain complex higher to start the week, with Chicago soft red winter futures climbing as much as thirteen and a quarter cents, and Kansas City hard red winter adding up to eight and a quarter cents. Steady crop ratings gave traders little reason to sell, and corn joined the rally with gains of up to five and three quarter cents, pushing the national cash price to four dollars and twenty-five and a quarter cents a bushel. Export inspections came in supportive as well, with one point six four four million metric tons of corn shipped in the most recent week.
Shifting to tech, memory chip names caught a strong bid after Melius Research issued a bullish report on the sector, arguing that demand for memory will hold firm through the end of the decade. Micron and Sandisk both rallied on the back of that call, with investors reading the note as a signal that the AI-driven hardware buildout still has years of runway ahead of it.
And in Washington, a prominent voice is raising alarms on Capitol Hill, with a financial expert set to testify before the House Committee on Financial Services Tuesday morning, arguing that the current moment is precisely the wrong time to ease bank regulations, given the broader uncertainty already weighing on the financial system.
That's the tape.
