News from the Coop |
|
|
The markets closed 2011 on a very positive note. We will be watching to see what the South American weather does over the three day market holiday.
As the old saying goes, “when one door closes, another opens”. As the challenges of 2011 come to a close, we look forward to the promises that lay ahead for 2012. We may not need more rain in 2012 than we had in 2011, but it might be nice if the timing of the rains were better spaced. I am looking forward to 2012 for Assumption Coop, our patrons, our employees as well as my own family.
Have a Happy and Safe New Year!

Closing Market Comments |
|
|
1-27-12
Corn
US corn futures end higher on growing export demand, climbing despite weakness in wheat and soy. Fresh export sales announced, coming on the heels of two straight weeks of improved sales, supported the market, analysts say. They also note that US Gulf cash market bids continue to surge, possibly fueled by exporters who have had to scramble to find supplies to meet existing sales commitments. Market is being driven by short-term supply worries, as nearby March continues to expand its premium to deferred contracts. Deferred contracts have lagged on expecations farmers will plant a huge crop this spring. CBOT March corn ends up 7 1/4c to $6.41 3/4 a bushel, CBOT Dec. corn closes up 5c to $5.71.
Soybeans
US soy futures end lower on easing South America supply concerns. The market pulled back after recent strong gains amid talk that South America soy-crop damage could be limited, although analysts say there seemed to be little conviction in the downside move. Soy futures fell while corn gained as traders try to gauge potential US crop acreage this spring. Gulf export basis has been strong recently, but traders say that sales have remained lackluster. CBOT March soybeans fell 3 3/4c to $12.19/bushel.
Wheat
US wheat futures end lower, sagging amid easing supply worries and spread-trading. Prices fell despite gains in corn, which has driven wheat's recent rally. Although some worries have emerged this week about a potential drop in Russian wheat exports, some traders say the threat is overblown, particularly given abundant world supplies. "There's a ton of wheat around, whereas there's not a ton of corn around," says John Kleist at ebottrading.com. But US export demand has picked up recently, and traders on Monday will be watching for potential winterkill damage from an expected cold snap in the former Soviet Union. CBOT March wheat fell 6 1/4c to $6.47 1/4 per bushel, March KCBT dropped 9c to $7 and March MGEX declined 1c to $8.26 1/4.
