Grains markets saw an intraday reversal on Tuesday, with early strength fading into a weaker close. March Corn futures settled down 0.5% at $4.44 per bushel, while March Soybeans futures fell 5.75 cents to end at $10.56.25. Despite the price pressure, the USDA confirmed a flash sale of 336,000 metric tons of soybeans to China for the 2025/2026 marketing year. Reports suggest additional sales could bring China's total near 10 million metric tons, or roughly 80% of its reported purchase commitment. Meanwhile, export inspections for wheat came in at 183,305 metric tons, trailing the low end of analyst expectations.
