Ag markets posted mixed closes ahead of Thursday's USDA reports
Traders were looking forward to Thursday’s USDA reports Wednesday. Expectations for a massive corn harvest have weighed heavily upon the market this summer. However, the possibility that tomorrow’s USDA Crop Production and WASDE reports will hold surprises apparently spurred short-covering ahead of their release. Thus, corn futures traded slightly higher. December corn futures closed up 1.5 cents to $3.4575/bushel Wednesday, while May rose 1.25 to $3.6675.
Bean, meal strength pull crop markets higher Monday morning
Soybeans and meal led the crop markets higher Monday morning. Ideas that today’s weekly USDA Crop Progress report will show a big increase in crop harvesting weighed on corn and bean futures Sunday night. However, daily and weekly reports confirmed extremely strong demand for beans (and probably meal), which sent those markets and the other crops higher. December corn futures rose 4.0 cents to $3.57/bushel late Monday morning, while May added 4.0 to $3.7925.
Ag markets proved generally mixed Monday morning
Grain traders are probably squaring positions Monday morning. The corn market has recently suffered badly from prospects for a huge U.S. harvest and from U.S. dollar strength. Today’s Export Inspections result also looked rather bearish. Nevertheless, futures rose modestly this morning, which probably reflected widespread short-covering ahead of tomorrow’s quarterly Grain Stocks report. December corn futures gained 1.5 cents to $3.245/bushel in Monday morning action, while May bounced 1.25 to $3.455.
