The US government shutdown is expected to see a turning point, and Chicago grain futures are all rallying.

On November 10th (Monday local time), the Chicago grain futures market saw a significant increase, mainly due to market optimism that the U.S. government may reach a compromise to end the longest government shutdown in history, thus restoring the normal release of agricultural data. On that day, soybean futures for January delivery performed particularly well, rising by 0.7% at one point during trading; wheat and corn futures also rose in response. Influenced by positive signals that the U.S. government may restart after a 40-day shutdown, U.S. stock index futures also rose, further strengthening market optimism. As of the time of this report, specific price changes showed that soybean futures narrowed their price increase to 0.4%, closing at $11.2175 per bushel; wheat futures rose by 0.3%, closing at $5.295 per bushel; corn futures rose by 0.2%, closing at $4.28 per bushel. Behind this price fluctuation, the heavy reliance of grain traders on key data reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture cannot be ignored including the "World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates" report, which has been limited in release since the government shutdown in October 2025, leading to a prolonged lack of authoritative data guidance in the market.
