Canadian canola values continue to slip as their market adjusts to the lower quality of this year’s crop. I get a bit cynical when I see base rates drop away in years of poor oil. I always thought that is what the P&D system accommodated. A base price for...

In the US wheat, corn and soybean futures all closed a little higher. Canola pushed lower. Canola futures are basically keeping in line with the weaker average cash price for Canadian canola. Canola discounts are something we are all too familiar with here in NNSW. You see the season...

There are suggestions that the US trade war with China created by the Trump administration maybe working itself out. The hint of a deal rallied soybeans 30c/bu, while corn and wheat futures also got a leg up. The rally pushed US grain futures higher against some fundamentally poor export...

Nearby ICE canola values appear to be caught up in an end of the month squaring up as neither Paris rapeseed futures or the Chicago soybean pit reflected the loss suffered by Nov Canadian canola. US futures were pretty ho hum with most punters following the trend while having...

US wheat futures bounced fairly high last night taking back a lot of the lower closes through the week. Week on week we still see some slight loses but since the beginning of the month US wheat futures are just 4c/bu lower, a negligible amount.  This compares to a...

Poor weekly US export sales killed corn and wheat futures in overnight trade. Coming in below trade estimates the market had nowhere to go and drifted lower throughout the session. IGC data didn’t help, although world corn production was left unchanged the IGC did increase world wheat production by...

US wheat futures were lower again in overnight trade. A quick look at the charts and the stochastic indicates that the December CME soft wheat contract is now very much oversold. There is no law stating that it can’t remain this way for a little while but fundamentally at...

International futures and cash markets were very flat overnight. Asian consumer values were unchanged as were most offers out of the Black Sea region. Tunisia are tendering for 125kt of milling wheat and Japan are in for 105kt of wheat from the PNW. We now see both the UK’s...
