Friday Morning Commentary
8:05 AM Market: Corn up 13/19; Beans up 56/51. Grains and oilseeds are up sharply to start Friday’s trade on heavy volume. Despite the intraday rally, corn and soy have recovered less than half of Thursday’s losses. Thursday was a perfect storm bloodbath in the markets with improved weather forecasts, actual rain in Western IA/MN, China interest potentially waning and reports of a commercial getting stopped out of long veg oil positions. Things that make you go hmmmm….China’s soybean crush fell 3 ½% (70 K MT) LW to 1.95 million MT and the total was 5% less than the year ago level. Downtime and slowing meal demand were contributing factors according to CNGOIC. The corn and soy complex has a CME margin increase, unusual on lower markets. China sold imported Ukrainian corn at state auction on Friday. The quantity was not large overall but was 100% subscribed. China is also subsidizing producers to purchase inputs for next year’s crops in continued efforts to control food inflation. Overnight global tenders were active, not a surprise after the sharply lower trading day. Philippines bought 150 kmt wheat. Iran’s GTC bought just under 200 kmt milling wheat. SoKor’s FLC bought 65 kmt corn, KFA bought 60 kmt corn, and MFG bought 136 kmt. Isolated showers are forecast through Saturday across western areas of the U.S. Midwest, followed by scattered rain on Sunday/Monday. Above normal temperatures are projected through Saturday, followed by near to above normal readings on Sunday and near to below normal on Monday. Scattered showers are forecast today through Monday for eastern areas of the Midwest. Temperatures are projected to be above normal today through Sunday, followed by near to above normal readings on Monday. Look for volatility today with weather the ultimate driver of direction. Remember expanded limits are in play for both corn and the soy complex. Markets attempt recovery after yesterday's deep dive. Weather relief and China's waning demand the buzz. Corn inside 30day range; beans look for non-red trade.
