Markets kicked off the week looking ahead to Thursday’s Trump-Xi summit, with traders watching for any developments that could impact U.S. agricultural trade with China. Agriculture—especially soybean demand—is expected to be an important part of the trade discussions.

Export inspections came in strong for corn and soybeans, while wheat showed a noticeable setback.

Weather could slow the harvest pace, with the latest USDA Crop Progress Report expected to reflect some delays from recent rainfall.

Meanwhile, cattle pushed to hold the green, setting a stronger tone to start the week.
