Markets closed mixed in a choppy somewhat volatile session
as we continue to trade weather.
July corn closed down a dime a bushel, new crop December
corn was off 3 cents, KC wheat was up 14, MPLS wheat was up 3, CBOT wheat was
up 14-15, July soybeans were off a dime, November soybeans were down 6 cents,
the US dollar is under pressure off about 400 points with the cash index at
81.73, crude is off about a buck and a half, and gold was up about 9 bucks an
ounce.
Very choppy day; at one time in the night session corn was
up about a dime and with old crop closing off a dime we had a good twenty cent
range. New crop had about a 15 cent
trading range for corn. The wheat market
had even more volatility; at one time early in the session KC wheat was off
about a dime as the early reports from the crop tour where decent. Then around 9:30-10:00 we had got to about
break even and within another hour or so we were up about 20 cents giving us a
33 cent trading range from 8:30 to noon.
Part of the wheat strength might have came from more wheat
tour results and even some of the information coming out of our area. That being the prospects for wheat look very
bad; lots of insurance agents out and indicating that early next week some
stuff will be adjusted to 0-5 bushels.
But I think the bigger story was one of the updated forecast models
showing for some more freeze weather
later this week. A cold snap that could
go all the way down south into parts of Texas.
I think that is really what got our market excited.
In the last 5-10 mins wheat did have about a 10 cent or so
trading range so the volatility seemed to last the whole session. With the crop tour still going on for the
next few days look for that volatility to stay.
But one thing that we and the market seem to be keep in mind is the fact
that we don’t have a great way to really evaluate the wheat given how early
some of it is. One of the tweets on
twitter today indicated that only about 1-2% of the wheat was heading out on
this tour; versus 70 % or so last year and about 20% normally. So how good of a job will this tour do? Will it be measuring potential? Overstate it?
Understate it? Or will it really
come down to what happens with mother nature in the next few days/weeks ahead? Obviously a frost later this week could
really smoke the wheat crop hard and that won’t be accounted for in this crop
tour.
Overall the reports have been decent to good in the tour;
but I don’t know that they are any better than expectations for those areas
either. The next few days should see
more of the poor wheat getting looked at and those reports are likely to be
more friendly. But once again the
weather forecasts will probably trump this news. A freeze right now could mean huge damage; it
might make more of our wheat non-milling plus who know how much quantity could
be shaved off this already hurt crop?
Tomorrow we will have ethanol info out; market is looking
for continued improved production because of the improved margins.
The other thing in weather is the system that is suppose to
hit much of the corn belt in the next couple of days. Sounds like 1-5 inches of moisture for many
parts of Iowa. One report I heard was of
a foot of snow potentially in Iowa later this week. I did see some of the 6-10 day and later
forecasts show some improvement and that might have helped ease the corn rally
that we had going last night and earlier in the session. Bottom line is these forecasts will continue
to change a couple times a day; how important they will be should depend on how
much moisture the eastern corn belt gets hit with later this week. If the event is a bust while then some of the
deferred forecasts won’t be quiet as important; while if it is as wet or wetter
then forecasted the other deferred forecasts will become more important.
I did see on twitter today a few different pictures of some
field work happening in parts of Iowa; NE, ND, SD; so some progress is
happening. But it seems like overall the
progress is maybe happening in the outlying states; not all of the I states
where our crop is really determined.
