In the latest “What’s Hot, What’s Not” podcast, Martinson Ag Risk Management President Randy Martinson discusses why bean oil has surged to its highest levels since 2022 and how expectations for a favorable biofuels policy are helping support soybean prices. Martinson also highlights continued strength in the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq as all three indexes push to new all-time highs. On the flip side, corn futures are testing key support levels while cattle markets struggle to find a footing after another week of selling pressure. Martinson also discusses concerns surrounding New World screwworm detections near the U.S.-Mexico border and ongoing uncertainty surrounding a potential peace agreement between the United States and Iran. That uncertainty has crude oil prices moving sharply higher once again. Listen to the full conversation with Randy Martinson to hear what’s driving today’s markets and what developments producers should be watching in the days ahead.
