Energy markets pulled back briefly from morning highs on White House suggestions that Iran may issue a counter proposal to the U.S. peace proposal Friday. Such routine attempts to calm markets are having less of an impact each time with the same seemingly happening here given gains remaining in energy markets with losses in stocks holding as well. Treasury markets have turned mixed on the reports but that still leaves the U.S. 10-year note rate at 4.42% (but below the overnight high of 4.46%).

Word that China is launching two probes into U.S. trade practices (according to Reuters) in response to the section 301 tariff investigation launched by the U.S. (after the IEEPA tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court) may be responsible for a pullback in the soybeans. Even soybean oil and canola are off their highs despite additional gains in diesel markets and ahead of the expected blending mandate announcement (expected at roughly 11:30 a.m. CDT) with profit-taking and risk reduction following the recent rally most likely at play.
