Financial market reversals seemed to boost most ag markets
The crop markets exhibited surprising strength Thursday morning. Overnight grain weakness seemed to reflect bearish equity market expectations, as well as an acceleration of the fall harvest as the Midwest dries out. However, the crop markets rebounded significantly by midmorning, which probably reflected a sizeable sale announced this morning, as well as the late-morning stock market comeback. December corn futures rebounded 3.5 cents to $3.51/bushel late Thursday morning, while May moved up 3.5 cents to $3.73.
Ag markets turned higher at midsession Tuesday
Corn futures moved higher on Tuesday morning. Technical buying pushed prices moderately higher. However, sagging export demand tied to the strong U.S. dollar continued to add pressure to the market, thus curbing the gains. Stabilizing factors are harvest nearing completion at 94% in yesterday’s crop progress report from NASS, up from 89% the week before. That means declining hedge pressure as a negative influence on prices, particularly with farmer sales slowing to a trickle. December corn futures advanced 5.25 cent to close at $3.7275/bushel Tuesday, while May was up 5.0 cents to $3.9425.
