🌽 Corn Market Update Corn futures closed lower to end the week this week, with profit taking the noted market feature throughout the day amid what continued to be an otherwise geopolitically-focused trading session. We're hopeful that market fundamentals can somewhat return to focus beyond next week's acreage data and as the spring planting window opens, but like we've talked about all week, until the war in Iran comes to some kind of conclusion and the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, downward moves likely remain corrective in nature in the near term and are likely to be short-lived.
🌱 Soybean Market Update Both the beans and the meal closed lower to end the week on Friday, while the oil market was able to trade higher with rising crude oil values that again tested the $100/bbl mark. The big question in the soy complex going into next week is whether or not we'll see an RVO announcement from the EPA. Early this week, it seemed rather likely, but as the days went on, rumors picked up that the announcement could continued to be delayed. Once released, it will be interesting to see from a market standpoint how much buy the rumor, sell the fact trade goes on, and it will also be interesting to watch monthly feedstock usage data, though it is several months behind, to see if soybean oil use for biofuel begins to tick back up into the summer months. Remember, the USDA currently has been oil usage for biofuels up some 25% from last year, but feedstocks data through the first four months of the marketing year shows yearly declines from last year in all four months.
🌾 Wheat Market Update Wheat futures once again paced the declines across the CBOT to end the week on Friday, with spot futures closing back below the $6 level again. Weather concerns across the Plains wheat belt led to an injection of premium this week, but as the cold has come and gone it looks like traders banked some of these profits today ahead of the coming weekend. ...

Good morning. Happy 1st day of Spring. Temps will feel more like it today. Grain prices are mixed with wheat continuing to show plenty of volatility. Today marks the 16th straight day that May Chicago wheat has had a double-digit trading range. Maybe a little surprising since it’s tie to biofuels and energies (the main drivers for news lately), is considerably less than corn and soybeans. But, the funds had a big net short going to into the recent news cycle and winter wheat is first up for weather concerns in the U.S. growing season. It’s still dry in the plains and the Midwest. The commitment of traders’ report is out this afternoon. The cattle on feed report is out this afternoon. Placements are expected to be steady from a year ago. It is expected to be a warm weekend and then a small cooldown early next week. Temps warm up again later next week. It will be dry though, so field work talk will likely pick up next week. It doesn’t quite feel like it, but corn futures got within a nickel of the recent highs yesterday. Producer interest has slowed a bit as they have sold enough recently to meet money needs and now they await another push higher. Items like the China visit, Brazil bean inspection concerns, and the RVOs are still hanging out there waiting on clarity. Just about 10 days until the big acreage report and quarterly stocks. Today has the perfect recipe for a light work attendance today with good weather and basketball. Let’s see if the fund traders have the same thought. Have a safe weekend. ... See MoreSee Less
