Summary
The Monday edition of the Closing Market Report provides a factual overview of commodity markets, international trade logistics, and weather forecasts for July 20, 2026. During the segment, analyst Curt Kimmel attributes immediate gains in corn and soybean futures to ongoing Black Sea conflicts, European drought, and Chinese export purchases. The report also outlines the finalized July 27 opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, detailing its revised net-revenue toll agreement between Michigan and Canada. Furthermore, economist Ben Brown analyzes the market anomaly of robust Chinese demand for U.S. soybeans despite uncompetitive domestic pricing. Concluding the report, meteorologist Mark Russo notes that while the U.S. Corn Belt faces drier-than-normal conditions without threatening heat, Europe continues to endure severe, crop-damaging heatwaves. 01:19 Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net 06:18 New Trade Route Between Canada and U.S. to Open 10:31 Ag Markets Discussion with Ben Brown, University of Minnesota 19:08 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream.ai ★ Support this podcast ★
