🔹 📉 Bond Market Sell-Off Intensifies
Yields are surging as debt concerns mount. The 30-year hits 5.089%—a rare level not seen since 2023—and the 10-year busts through 4.5%. Weak auctions and global pressure (hello, Japan 🇯🇵) are shaking confidence in US debt. What’s it mean for YOU? 📊

🔹 🇺🇸 Trump’s Policy Package Stirs the House
A multitrillion-dollar bill with tax cuts, spending hikes, and big changes to energy, immigration, and Medicaid. But it’s facing resistance from both sides of the GOP aisle.

🔹 🌾 Corn Futures Catch a Bid
Corn prices move higher on short-covering, slow farmer sales, and a softer dollar. Wheat strength provides a boost. 

🔹 🕒 24/7 Futures Trading? NGFA Says No!
The CFTC is considering round-the-clock trading for grains and livestock. The NGFA pushes back hard. Will extended hours help or hurt the market? ⏰

🔹 🚜 US Ethanol Output Rises
Production climbs 4.3% on the week—but margins are softening. Stocks tick lower. 

🔹 🇦🇷 Argentina Crop Weather Update
Rainfall finally lets up after major delays in the soybean harvest. Dry weather returns, helping ease pressure on the crop forecast. 🌤️

🔹 🪙 Bitcoin Hits Record High
Yes, again. BTC tops $109K on hopes for stablecoin legislation and a Trump-fueled regulatory shift. Options traders are betting BIG.
