Wheat, Corn and Soybean Complex Market Commentary Report for 8-30-10

Corn Market  Analysis  for 8-30-10

September Corn finished up 4 1/2 at 425 1/2, 2 /34 up from the low and 3 3/4 off the high. December Corn closed up 5 1/2 at 441 1/2. This was 3 1/2 up from the low and 3 3/4 off the high.

December corn traded higher overnight and into the day session with prices remaining in a narrow range on the day amid light volume. Export sales activity was limited today with a sugar processor in Taiwan looking to buy 23,000 tonnes of US corn. The early gains took the December contract to its highest level since January 11th with support credited to recent strong export demand for corn and concern over the possibility of yields below the 165 bushels per acre that was forecast by the USDA in early August. The high for January (and the year) in the December contract was 449 3/4. This week’s export inspections for corn were 45.3 million bushels, up from 43.7 million last week. As we head into the last week of the 2009/10 crop marketing year, inspections need to hit 138.840 million bushels to reach the USDA’s export projection.

November Rice closed up 0.01 at 11.495, 0.055 off the high and equal to the low.

Wheat Market  Analysis Report for 8-30-10

December wheat began the day session with a surge following a rally to a new 28-month high in wheat in Germany this morning. Traders said that further support came from dry conditions in Western Australia and in the western areas of the wheat growing belt in Argentina. However, the market sold off into late morning and again into early afternoon. This left December wheat higher on the day into the close, but back down near the overnight lows. Weather reports from Australia during the session called for rains this week that could cut the dry area in the western wheat belt in half. Rains in Northern Europe have extended over into northern winter wheat growing areas in Russia. This has brought some relief, with areas that need to be planted by mid September said to have enough moisture for planting and germination. However, continued dryness in other areas and forecasts for more dryness into next week has left half of the winter wheat area with too little moisture for planting at this point according to sources in Russia. This week’s export inspections for wheat were 25.5 million bushels, up from 24.6 million last week. Soft red wheat exports nearly tripled in volume from last week’s 402,000 bushels to 1.14 million. Despite the recent surge in exports, the total wheat inspections to date stand at just 19.8% of the USDA’s export forecast for 2010/11 versus a 5-year average of 25.1%. Inspections need to average 24.1 million bushels each week to reach the USDA’s forecast.

September Wheat ended 8 3/4 higher at 671 1/4, 24 off the high and 5 3/4 up from the low. December Wheat closed up 9 1/2 at 704 1/2. This was 5 1/4 up from the low and 24 1/2 off the high.

December Oats ended 1/4 lower at 278 1/4. This was equal to the low and 6 3/4 off the high.

8-30-10 – Soybean Complex Market Recap Report

November soybeans traded sideways at a moderately higher level overnight before seeing its gains erased early in the day session. A recovery rally into mid session fell short and the November contract pushed to a modest loss on the day into the close. Meal and oil were also both lower in the December contracts into the close. This week’s weather forecasts call for generally dry conditions in the Midwest to start the week, followed by showers during the middle of the week and a return of dry weather to end the week. Analysts indicate that this may result in some stress to late developing soybeans in drier areas. Some traders have expressed concern over a possible deterioration in US yields from the 44 bushels per acre projected by the USDA in early August. However, a minor drop in yield would still leave the US and the world with ample stocks through the end of 2010/11 based on current usage projections. This week’s export inspections for soybeans were 7.17 million bushels, down from 11.8 million last week. Inspections need to average 25 million bushels each week to reach the USDA’s current export projection for 2009/10 with about one week to go. In China, heavy rains have caused significant flooding in southern Manchurian soybean growing areas (the NE) and in the northern and eastern North China Plain. Other areas are seeing more favorable weather.

November Soybeans ended 3 1/2 lower at 1022 1/2, 2 up from the low and 11 1/2 off the high.

December Soybean Oil ended 0.27 lower at 40.53, 0.16 up from the low and 0.57 off the high.

December Soymeal closed 0.8 lower at 298.7. This was 4.3 off the high and 0.7 up from the low.

Consequently, the quality of this free data leaves lots to be desired, and until your business thought appears very promising, you don’t have any likelihood to succeed. Realize, that business grants are a highly specialised field, and an amateurish attempt will end in an enormous disappointment, wasted time, and a doable lack of cash paid to incompetent “do-it-yourself” helpers.
