- Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 9:15 AM More from the USDA: Soybeans gain +0.8% as the expected crop is cut 2% to 2.638B bushels vs. trade estimates of a 1% reduction. Ending stocks, however, remain at 115M bushels as the USDA cuts exports 55M bushels to 1.055B. Without the export reduction, ending stocks would have fallen to the frighteningly low level of 60M bushels. (full report, .pdf) 1 Comment [Commodities]
- 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]
- Friday, September 7, 2012, 7:14 AM China's feed demand needs to be met by imports no matter what the price," says FCStone's Nathan Broders. With the drought no longer driving corn prices, it's now about demand, and China's appetite is going nowhere. Rabobank's Daron Hoffman believes the USDA's estimate of China's corn crop is too optimistic, and therefore its view on Chinese imports too light. Comment! [Commodities]
- Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 1:08 PM Long corn? If you bought the December crop 7 weeks ago you're even, notes an analyst. This despite falling crop ratings, the USDA cutting its harvest numbers, and numerous private tours confirming the poor state of the crop. Always take caution with a bull market that's stopped reacting to bullish news. 1 Comment [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, August 24, 2012, 3:29 PM Pro Farmer estimates following this week's crop tour have corn yield at 120.25 bu/acre vs. the USDA estimate of 123.4. Beans 34.8 bu/acre vs. USDA at 36.1 ("The crop from Ohio to Nebraska needs a drink right now to realize these yield estimates"). Iowa (nation's largest producer): "Early start to the growing season turned into a mid-season nightmare for corn trying to pollinate." Market reaction will have to wait until Sunday night. 5 Comments [Commodities]
- Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 4:34 PM As panic hits the pits, Wells Fargo's Sameer Samana makes a contrarian call, arguing it's a good time to cover bullish grain bets. The weather is improving, he says, and low yields are priced in. "There seem to be fewer catalysts for price appreciation." Yet as Commerzbank notes, it's too late in the season for better weather to help the corn crop. 7 Comments [Commodities]
- 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 20, 2012, 12:16 PM Grains rally as the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour gets underway and early reports suggest the USDA's low estimated corn and bean yields could be optimistic. DTN's Katie Micik reports her Ohio route averaged 104.4 bu/acre (corn) vs. the USDA state estimate of 126. Pam Smith: "You know the corn is bad when you can see the scouts." CORN +1.4%, SOYB +1%. 5 Comments [Commodities]
- 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, 8:53 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]
- 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]
