12.30.25 MORNING COMMENTS

Good morning. I wish you all a Happy New Year. The last trading day of the year. Grain markets are mostly lower to start a full session today on big bean deliveries and weaker outside markets. After today’s close, the markets will stay shut down until another hard opening on Friday morning. Bean deliveries totaled 1,062 contracts, up through a long date of December 15th. ADMIS (customer and house) accounted for 961 with Bunge putting out 98. Silver and gold futures are sharply lower again as margin requirements were raised again for today’s trade date. Initial margin for a contract of silver futures is up to a whopping $32,500. There is a host of data out today. Export sales for the week of December 18th will be out this morning. A couple of more weeks and the sales data should be caught up. The commitment of traders’ info for fund data will be out this afternoon and that dataset should be current. The weekly ethanol figures are out this morning. After today, temps moderate more towards normal with plenty of expected sunshine to start the new year. Conditions will be relatively dry. There is still a dryness theme in Argentina, but the trade is watching some increased rainfall chances in the 2nd week of January. Still seeing a few bean sales to China with the total inching closer to the 12 MMT goal. Index rebalancing, the January 12th reports, and this ARG weather will be the topics of interest when the big traders return on Monday. There has been a small bit of producer selling this week (mostly corn) as producers finish up money needs for the tax year and/or are running out of patience with this boring corn market. Will still be a chunk of funds hitting the streets on Friday, but most report it is down from previous years. In terms of market action, it is expected to remain quiet until we get into a bigger news cycle. Be safe tonight.
