Five sessions, one grain breakout and a dollar gut-punch. A bullish WASDE lit a fire under soybeans and corn Tuesday, wheat round-tripped from a four-month low to a Friday bounce, and the U.S. dollar's surge to a 19-month high flattened gold and silver into the weekend. Here are the five most-read editions of the week, ranked by what readers actually opened.
This Week's Most-Read
1. 🌾 Wheat Sinks to 4-Month Low as Dollar Hammers Gold
The week's most-opened edition.
A dollar surge to a 19-month high on hot CPI data tipped the wheat complex to a four-month low and hit gold (−2.88%) and silver (−3.72%) hard, even as WTI crude and natural gas both climbed more than 2.5%.
2. 🔥 Natural Gas Slides 2.5% as Grains Grind Higher
A reader favorite right behind it.
A quiet Veterans Day session saw wheat and oats grind higher while natural gas gave back 2.46% of the prior week's spike, and gold and silver split hard in opposite directions.
3. 🔥 Natural Gas Spikes 7% as Crude Slides, Metals Rally
Natural gas spiked 7.34% as heating season got underway, WTI crude cratered 4.38% on resurfacing oversupply worries, and a softer dollar lifted both gold and silver to open the week.
4. 🫘 Soybeans, Corn Rally on Bullish WASDE
A bullish November WASDE cut corn and soybean stocks and sent soybeans up 3.35% and corn up 2.22%, while a hot CPI print lifted the dollar and knocked gold and silver off their highs.
5. 🌾 Wheat Rebounds From 4-Month Low as Grains Rally
Wheat clawed back off Thursday's four-month low and soybeans and oats extended the week's WASDE-fueled gains, while natural gas gave back 3.29% as crude eased on a fresh OPEC supply outlook.
The Week in One Line
Grains broke out Tuesday on a bullish WASDE report, with soybeans and corn carrying the gain through Friday while wheat round-tripped from a four-month low to a bounce.
The U.S. dollar was the week's cross-market driver, jumping to a 19-month high on hot CPI data and dragging gold and silver sharply lower into Thursday and Friday.
Natural gas was the week's wild card: a 7.34% Monday spike, a 2.46% Wednesday pullback, a 3.89% Thursday jump, then a 3.29% Friday slide.
