Closing Market Comments
9.19.2018
Corn settled higher today, boosted by spillover support from higher wheat and soybean trades. CZ and CH were each 2 ½ cents firmer. Commodity funds were light buyers today, with estimated purchases of 2000 contracts as of midsession. Drought and cold weather are taking their toll on the Australian wheat crop which boosted wheat futures today. Traders expect the reduced Australian crop will prop up export demand for U.S. feed grains, especially in light of reduced wheat production this year in the Black Sea Region. Also supportive today was the weekly production report from the EIA. It showed last week’s ethanol production up 3% from the previous week along with a decrease in ethanol inventories. On the negative side, ethanol margins are currently below breakeven compared to a year ago when they calculated to near $0.60/bushel profit. The weekly export sales report will be released tomorrow morning and is expected to include corn sales near 43 million bu.
Soybeans were higher today as the market enjoyed its best day in over a month. SX settled 16 cents better; SF gained 15 ¾ cents. Commodity fund buying was supportive as funds purchased an estimated 4100 soybean contracts as of midday. The market was supported by talk that Argentina had purchased three or four cargoes of U.S. soybeans. This after China was thought to have bought Argentine soybeans overnight. Argentine soybeans are currently offered at a roughly $0.60 discount to Brazilian beans. It pencils for Argentina to export its supplies and buy U.S. soybeans to be processed. Also supportive today were updated weather forecasts which showed a wet and cold pattern developing across the Midwest for late September and early October. Tomorrow’s export sales report is expected to include soybean sales near 26 million bu.
