Commodities Snapshot Report
For the week of July 14, 2025
Quickly review the latest weekly snapshot on all major commodities!
And for a deeper dive, scroll to the CommodityONE Reports below.
Last week’s holiday may delay this week’s updates.
-
Grains
Grain markets dipped again last week, with corn taking the hardest hit. Record U.S. and Brazil crop projections, paired with strong export reports, couldn’t hold prices up. Despite high export volumes, optimism over trade deals didn’t materialize, adding pressure.
Outlook: Corn exports remain strong, but oversupply continues to weigh on prices. Any new trade developments could change momentum, but for now, the trend remains downward.
-
Beef
The choice and select beef cutouts fell last week, with declines in ribs and striploins, but tenderloins and shortloins saw modest gains. Ground beef prices dropped, but trim values—especially 50% lean—hit a new all-time high. Mixed performance across primals continues to create volatility.
Outlook: While live cattle prices rebounded slightly, beef prices are still expected to soften in the weeks ahead as packers pull back on harvests to manage supply.
-
Dairy
Butter and cheese prices were mostly flat to slightly down, even as demand remains steady domestically and internationally. Heat in some regions is lowering milk production, leading cheesemakers to seek spot market supply to keep up with demand.
Outlook: Expect continued steadiness in dairy markets, with only modest shifts as production balances out against heat-related challenges.

Poultry
Chicken prices were mostly down last week. Boneless skinless breasts dropped sharply, now down 30% from last month, while wings ticked up slightly but remain much cheaper than this time last year. Thigh meat prices also dipped. Turkey breast prices jumped 12%, and whole birds rose 6%. Egg prices stayed flat.
Outlook: Expect a seasonal downturn in chicken prices to continue, especially as harvest volumes rise. White meat demand should hold steady due to its affordability, but watch for new tariffs to potentially impact export sales.
-
Pork
Pork prices rebounded slightly last week, with gains in bellies, tenderloins, and hams. Butts and ribs slipped, and export sales for pork butts dropped off. Despite the pork cutout recovering 3% from the previous week’s steep drop, there’s still volatility in the market.
Outlook: Expect pork prices to trend lower in the coming month, as global trade uncertainty and tariff concerns continue to pressure the market.
-
Seafood
Seafood prices dropped significantly last month across major species, with frozen tilapia down 12% m/m. Tilapia’s decline was expected after inflated pricing in early 2024, but the speed of the drop surprised analysts. Import volumes are expected to rise, likely putting a cap on prices.
Outlook: Prices should level out in the months ahead, offering operators a chance to incorporate more seafood at a stable cost.

July 21, 2025 – Last week, the protein markets were mostly lower. The live cattle market continues its upward trend. However, post-holiday declines in cutout and subprimal values mean beef packers will likely struggle with costs, leading them to reduce harvests to try and lower cash cattle prices.
