Daily Grain Commentary

The overnight markets are starting to show signs of life again, but considering the bean market is down nearly 10% since the first of the month things are just trying to get its footing again before it starts to run.

Published Friday morning, 11/2/12   The overnight markets are easing due to the fact that FCS issued its estimates yesterday afternoon and to no surprise the bean yield was raised to 39.1 with overall production at 2.959b. The corn yield was also raised to 124 which is a bit surprising with overall production at 10.884. The markets as of 8CST are trading down 7-8 in the old crop beans while

The overnight markets have continued where yesterday left off with gains being posted in nearly every market.

Grain Commentary

It’s a new day and a new week and after last week’s dismal start to market sentiment and price activity the markets actually finished the week higher vs. the previous week and is continuing the momentum this morning.

It’s hard to believe that the markets are actually now higher on the week by nearly 35 cents in beans and 10 cents in corn after the week had started. The overnight markets are attempting to sustain the gains of yesterday. The overnight news that spiked the wheat markets higher is based on the fact that Ukraine announced they will ban wheat exports starting on November 15th, there is still a lack of clarity if this affects the sales on the books that are scheduled to ship after the 15th or just preventing any further sales.

Could the dog be waking up? The overnight markets are showing signs of life again as things seem to be making an attempt of coming back to life for the bulls. The beans are trading 15-20 higher, meal has gained $4-5, oil gained 25-30, corn is up 4-5 and wheat is up 6-7.

Grains Commentary

The overnight markets once again are attempting to rebound after yet another disappointing day yesterday. The beans are marginally higher, meal is down in the nearby contracts and higher marginally in the deferred, oil has gained 25-30 points, corn is up 2-3 while wheat has gained 3-4. The bottom line is that the overall market is in a quagmire right now and there is not much influential news.
