🌽 Corn Market Update Corn futures saw quietly lower closes on Wednesday as tariff pessimism with Europe seemed to outweigh any sort of spillover buying from the soy complex. Newswires are rumoring that the EU could be proposing a $50/ton tariff on US corn imports as part of the response to Trump's Greenland threats. Its unclear whether this will go forward following what appeared to be a dropping of threats by Trump earlier today, but the chance at increased tensions was nonetheless enough to pressure values on Wednesday. Other headline news includes E15, but we don't see anything new today that we didn't already know yesterday in terms of lawmakers trying to get litigation passed in the funding bill that must be passed by the end of the month to avoid another government shutdown.
🌱 Soybean Market Update Beans and bean oil saw higher trade throughout the day on Wednesday, with there being a number of factors given for why the buying may have been occurring but nothing that was a sure thing. On one hand, there was another round of optimism regarding what traders are hoping is a positive ruling from the Trump administration on RVOs/SREs in another several weeks, while on the other hand, there were headlines out of both Treasury Secretary Bessent and USTR Greer that additional trade talks were likely with the Chinese in the short term ahead of a planned visit to Beijing by Trump in April. Lastly, there was chatter later in the day today that some crop scouts are beginning to trim production estimates in Argentina due to a lack of moisture in some areas, but we see current forecasts alleviating some of this risk should they verify over the next 10-15 days.
🌾 Wheat Market Update Wheat futures traded lower in lockstep with the corn market on Wednesday, as it was another day with limited news headlines and rather small-ranging trade across the futures markets. Weather seems to be the only thing of real note, with winterkill concern popping up in different circles in the past couple days both in the US and in the Black Sea. We aren't discounting the coming round of cold weather for the US wheat belt, but winterkill hasn't really been much of an issue for the better part of the last 30 years, meaning odds are likely better than not that this is more of a spec story than a fundamental situation with actual legs. ...

Good morning. Grain prices are higher this morning despite a lack of new news. Dryness is being watched in southern Brazil and parts of Argentina, but rain chances are still slated to improve in the extended forecast. Some areas of northern Brazil are really wet, but not enough to derail the massive bean crop by much. Soybeans are enjoying a nice technical bounce, with the March contract trading over the 20-day moving average this morning. If today’s lows hold, it would be the 5th straight day for March beans to have a higher lower than the previous session. March corn continues to hold $4.20. President Trump will be speaking this morning at the World Economic Forum. The outside markets will be closely watching his remarks, if any, on Greenland and tariffs. Natural gas is sharply higher again as the south and east brace for what could be one of the bigger storms in recent years. A combination of ice and snow is predicted in a band from Texas to the east coast. This will be combined with very cold temps. Most of those southern areas aren’t prepped for these conditions so most will basically shut down for the rest of the week and weekend. Despite the storm moving slightly north in the overnight run, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio will see mostly just the cold temps as precip is expected to be light. Grain transportation will slow later this week, and the river system will be on watch for icy conditions. The weekly ethanol report is delayed until tomorrow due to the holiday. A year-around E15 proposal was not included in the latest round of spending bills slated to keep the Government open past the January 30th deadline. The most recent 1,059-page bill will be debated this week in Congress, with funding for ICE the biggest sticking point. The FED meets next week. The 10-year treasuries rose sharply yesterday on the geopolitical tensions, which caused mortgage rates to spike yesterday to a nearly 30-day high. Fundamental news continues to be limited for grains. The nearby charts are trending favorably for corn and soybeans, but the outside markets/news are very much wildcards right now. Have a safe day. ... See MoreSee Less
