ETF Losers: VXX -5.8%. GAZ -5.3%. UNG -4.5%. DBA -1.0%. EPI -0.4%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, April 25, 3:19 PM The flow of key farm products (DBA) to the world from North and South America, highlighted by congestion at Brazilian ports and limited selling of crops by U.S. farmers, will keep global grain supplies tight despite expectations for big harvests later this year, Bunge (BG +6.5%) says after its Q1 report showed a 16% jump in agribusiness sales to $10.77B.

ETF Losers: FXI -4.7%. EPI -4.2%. GDXJ -3.3%. KOL -3.3%. DBA -2.7%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, January 11, 12:13 PM The inaugural midday release of the USDA's January crop report doesn't disappoint, with corn reversing early losses and now sharply green as Dec. 1 stocks come in at 8.03B bushels vs. expectations of 8.21B. Ending stocks are estimated at a slim 602M bushels vs. expectations of 667M. Beans are down after production came in higher than expected. Wheat jumps on lower-than-anticipated planted acres. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 11:59 AM Brazil’s government go-ahead for Petrobras (PBR -3.6%) to raise its gasoline prices in early 2013 likely will raise demand for domestically produced sugar-based ethanol, but effects also could reach U.S. shores. Ethanol output in the U.S. is expected fall ~10% next year, and a robust export market could give Brazilian mills even more incentive to produce ethanol instead of sugar. 4 Comments [Energy, Global & FX, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 9:16 AM Grains soar as the USDA lowers its estimate of corn ending stocks to 619M bushels from 733M in September. The cut comes even as it raises its forecast of harvested acres to 360K. What happens, asks Arlan Suderman, if the USDA is forced to cut harvested acres in its next report? Yikes. Corn +4%, Beans +2.1%, Wheat +1.5%. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 8:56 AM Corn soars 3% as the USDA announces stocks at just 988M bushels, the low end of the expected range. Prior to the report, corn had tumbled about $1/bushel over the past month. Wheat stocks also came in low, suggesting greater-than-expected feed use for both grains. Bean stocks beat expectations after the USDA "finds" another 38M bushels from last year's crop. Wheat +2%, Beans flat. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 8:51 AM Corn tumbles 2% as the USDA lowers its expected crop yield and harvest only marginally from last month's estimates. Also lowered were expected exports - to 1.25B bushels from the already low figure of 1.3B. As a result, new crop ending stocks are now estimated at 733M bushels, up from 650M. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 3:18 PM "For the first time in this rally, there is a feel of commercial panic," says a broker after a 2nd day of the Pro Farmer crop tour adds to worries over the security of physical grain supplies (day 1 report here). "You cannot load soybean futures in a ship and send to China (or) feed to chickens and hogs ... panic is in the physical ownership." Price records are falling everywhere. JJG +2.2%. 8 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, August 13, 2012, 4:32 PM China plans to release corn and rice from state reserves to cool inflation and ease import needs. The amount isn't yet known, but is estimated to be around 2M tons (the country consumes 10-15M tons monthly). The grains were sharply lower today as traders mostly sell Friday's news of a short crop. Corn -2.2%, Beans -3.1%, Wheat -3.2%. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, August 10, 2012, 2:46 PM Off 2.2% today in the wake of a crop report confirming what everybody already knew (a very short crop), corn may also be fading on a rumor the White House could be open to waving the ethanol requirement for fuel. 4 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
