- Friday, August 10, 2012, 8:53 AM More on the crop report: Corn yields in Iowa (the largest producer) are estimated at 141 bu/acre, notes Arlan Sunderman, while an industry tour had it at 117. He also spots the USDA upping China's corn production to 200 MMT from 195 last month, and dropping Chinese imports to 2 MMT from 5 MMT ... "but when has the USDA been right about Chinese imports." 5 Comments [Commodities]
- Friday, August 10, 2012, 8:43 AM The USDA's highly anticipated crop report pegs the corn harvest at 10.779B bushels, 150M less then expected. The yield of 123.4 bushels/acre (vs. 127.4 est.) is the lowest since 1995. Ending stocks are pegged at a tiny 650M bushels, down from 1.18B. Traders sell the news, Sept. corn flat now after being a dime higher before the report. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy, Global & FX, Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, August 6, 2012, 10:57 AM Rains over the weekend and more forecast for this week are helping send the grains lower. Much of the damaged corn crop is beyond repair, but beans should see a benefit from the water and cooler temperatures. New crop corn -1.4%, New crop beans -2.6%. 2 Comments [Commodities]
- Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 8:18 AM A revision to the mean type of guy for most of his career, Jeremy Grantham continues a Malthusian turn in his old age, warning of decades of food shortages (last year's warning focused on metals, but all of a sudden the world seems oversupplied with those). Being a breadbasket, the U.S. will not be affected too badly, but poorer importers will see trouble. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Global & FX, Commodities]
- Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 12:29 PM The grain rally falls off the tracks as both corn (down $0.40) and beans (down $0.70) are locked limit down at the CBOT. At $7.74 bushel, corn is off 5% on the session. Wheat isn't yet limit down, but is off 6.3%. Smithfield (SFD) hurriedly revisits its decision. JJG -5.5%. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 3:28 PM Interesting action in the Chicago pits today, where old crop (Sept) corn soared another $0.18 to a record $8.13, but new crop (Dec, March) fell, the spread between the two shooting higher late in the session. The divergence suggests at least some optimism for a reasonable crop to come in, no? CORN -2.3% as the action in the new crop months overwhelmed the record price move. 5 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 4:54 PM "I see no basis for limiting exports," says a senior Russian official, even as an analyst says poor weather could sharply cut the wheat harvest, and in turn, overseas sales. Russia's 2010 ban on wheat exports shocked consumers, setting off a near doubling in the price. 2 Comments [Commodities]
- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 8:55 AM Some sentiment numbers for the contrarians to chew over: 81% of clients are bearish on the euro for the next 6 months, according to JPMorgan (euro chart). Corn bulls rise to 95%, according to Jake Bernstein's Daily Sentiment Index (corn chart). Bond bulls are at 87% (bond chart). (h/t Thomas Thornton) 2 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities, U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, July 12, 2012, 1:01 PM The latest U.S. Drought Monitor isn't pretty, showing substantial declines in "abnormally dry" and "drought-moderate" areas and a commensurate jump in those areas labeled "drought-severe" and "drought extreme," with "drought exceptional" creeping in as well. Corn rebounds from yesterday's sell the news action following the USDA report, +3.9%. 3 Comments [Commodities]
- Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 12:01 PM Report buyers get burned as corn moves 1.3% lower on the day, a full $0.40 off the level hit in the minutes after the USDA confirmed what everyone has known for weeks - the harsh weather is hurting the crop. Beans and wheat remain higher, but also sharply off post-report levels. 12 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 8:48 AM Not totally unexpectedly, the USDA lowers its corn forecast 12% to 12.97B Bushels; the projected yield is cut 20 bushels/acre to 146 bushels, "reflecting the rapid decline in crop conditions since early June and the latest weather data." Corn prices surge in response. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move, Top Stories]
- Monday, July 9, 2012, 10:42 AM A check of commodity performance (DBC) in H1 shows agricultural commodities (DBA) the top performer, despite steep falls in coffee (JO) and cotton (BAL), as the drought sends grains (JJG) soaring. Leading on the downside are the economically sensitive energy (JJE) and industrial metals (JJM) sectors. Comment! [Commodities]
- Monday, July 9, 2012, 10:34 AM Grains soar again as the heat wave breaks, but one forecaster says coming rain is expected to miss the areas most in need. The USDA's crop report for later today is expected to confirm deterioration of the crops. CORN +5.5%, JJG +4.8%, DBA +2.3%. Comment! [Commodities]
- Thursday, July 5, 2012, 5:35 PM Hot, dry weather isn't only plaguing midwestern farmers, as drought conditions also have hit areas in Russia and around the Black Sea, prompting reductions in grain forecasts. Yet food prices have been falling in recent months, and analysts such as Cowen's Colin Guheen expect “benign” inflation in 2012-13; he says the risk is not great for select food companies such as SFD and SWY. 1 Comment [Commodities, U.S. Economy, Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, July 5, 2012, 11:19 AM It's always a good idea to check the grains after July 4, and they're soaring again as no relief is in sight from the heat and drought. Adding fuel is the Ukraine, which lowered its corn crop estimate by 8% due to its own weather issues. A couple of headlines for the contrarians: "Corn is shining like gold," and "New dust bowl days on the horizon." CORN +2.5%, JJG +2.7%. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 11:57 AM Ag sector stocks are trading strong on the heels of yesterday's USDA crop progress report that showed worsening conditions in corn and soybeans, citing hot and dry weather across the U.S. Also possibly helping is National Bank's upgrade (I, II) on shares of Potash (POT +2.1%) and Agrium (AGU +3.3%). Also: MOS +2.3%, CF +3.1%, IPI +3.5%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
