Soybeans have seen export demand pick up recently, one factor moving prices higher this morning. Beans also appear to be benefiting from moves in outside markets, showing strong correlations with the dollar, stocks and crude oil.

No change is expected on interest rates, one factor driving stock markets to new records around the world. Farmers are also eyeing late season weather, which could be impacting yields.
