🌽 Corn Market Update Corn futures finished near their highs for the day on Wednesday, as strength in the soy complex was able to lift the grain markets despite selling across the energy space. Though headlines continue to flow out of the Middle East, focus will presumably begin to shift back to market fundamentals in the days ahead, with the USDA's quarterly stocks and planting intentions reports due in another just four trading sessions. With markets maybe still a hair overvalued on extra war premium, we would see any sort of bearish report as possibly leading to a sharper negative reaction than would be expected otherwise, which lifts overall market risk going into next week.
🌱 Soybean Market Update Soybean futures closed higher on Wednesday and made new highs for the week while the products were mixed as China buying was the name of the game beyond the noon hour. In our opinion, Trump and Xi simply having a meeting isn't in and of itself bullish to the bean market; its whether or not that meeting produces a deal for China to buy more US beans that would justify the current injection of premium into prices. If China doesn't buy anymore, end stocks likely continue to build both for the old crop and the new crop and we would argue this doesn't bode well for prices. In other news, there remains just one more day ahead of Friday's Ag Celebration event at the White House for the EPA to release RVO guidelines, which means product pricing and specifically bean oil pricing will likely see increased volatility into the weekend.
🌾 Wheat Market Update Wheat futures were higher on Wednesday, mostly in lock step with the corn market, as news continues to be limited and focused for the most part on US Plains weather into the middle of April. A jump in Russian export duties into the end of the month has had little effect on the market to this point, and this has been the only other real news story of late through the week this week. Chart-wise, that the market held Monday's lows was technically friendly, and the high from Monday at 6.06 1/2 will be the upside market objective for the rest of the week this week. ...

🌽 Corn Market Update Corn futures saw gains of 2-3 cents across the board on Tuesday, led to the upside mostly by strength in the crude oil market and as there are enough weather concern possibilities around the globe to at least keep the trade interested. In the US, soil moisture maps are better than they were a month ago for most of the Corn Belt but still show sizeable areas with significant deficits; and in Brazil, early signs of a shift to a drier outlook by mid-April have brought safrinha yields into question for some of the later planted crops. These issues are not immediate crop threats today, but will need monitoring over the next 4-6 weeks and could become market events during that time period if more crop-friendly patters don't emerge in the meantime.
🌱 Soybean Market Update While the beans and the meal closed lower on Tuesday, oil saw strength throughout the morning on yet another round of headlines regarding the proposed RVO mandate from the EPA, which is now expected to be released sometime either tomorrow or Thursday. We talk about this every time one of these rumor pops occurs, but would just continue reiterating that with as much premium as has been pumped into the market over the past several months, the environment is ripe for a sell the fact type reaction, which we would not be at all surprised to see occur. Then once the RVO is out, focus quickly shifts to planted acreage estimates next week, which will become talking point number one in the market outside of Iran once we get into April.
🌾 Wheat Market Update Wheat futures traded in lock-step with the corn market on Tuesday, with neither able to muster much momentum in either direction throughout the day before closing marginally higher. With there being an ongoing lack of notable new fundamental news, the seasonals would suggest markets remain in a bit of a steady downtrend through the end of the month after peaking within a day of the interim seasonal high in early March, before then trading sideways for most of the next month. Markets typically then see a brief rally into May before a final turn lower as harvest then gets rolling in June. ... See MoreSee Less
