Closing Market Comments
10-21-21
Corn
Good afternoon. Corn closed 6-7 cents lower and was defensive through the session. Funds were sellers of 8,000 contracts at mid-day against an estimated long position of 236,000 contracts to start the day. General weakness across the commodity space, especially in energies, weighed on corn. NOAA’s Dec-Feb temperature outlook is warmer than normal for much of the U.S. and the eastern corn belt looks wetter than normal. This forecast has energies on the defensive on less fuel for heating needed this winter. The dollar is firmer today, DOW futures are off 100 points after making a new high yesterday. It seems the corn market is trying to find a story to follow - balance sheets now or balance sheets in the future. Mexico picked up 130 tmt of U.S. corn for 21/22. Mexico also announced they would not limit GMO corn imports. Weekly export sales came in at 50.0 mln. bu. and brings YTD commitments to 1.138 bln. bu. vs. 1.116 bln. bu. last year. Buyers of note were Unknown, Mexico, Japan, and Columbia. Even though corn export commitments are ahead of last year and there are estimated projections they will rise, there is concern over the lack of interest by China in U.S. origin corn currently.
Soybeans
Soybeans closed sharply lower, losing 21 cents during the session. Weakness in SBM and SBO getting credit for the weakness. Rapid U.S. harvest pace with overall better than expected yields along with faltering CIF values and Brazil planting progressing nicely also in the mix. Funds were aggressive sellers of 10,000 contracts at mid-session against an estimated long position of 44,000 contracts. It seems energies are having more influence on Chicago too. Weekly export sales were great at 105.8 mln. bu. and bring YTD commitments to 1.075 bln. bu., though they lag last year’s 1.666 bln. bu. by a substantial margin. China picked up 82% of the week’s known destination sales. Chinese crush margins are improving even as they battle power shortages and crush capacity.
