With Chinese feed regulations changing to take into consideration a lower import volume of soybeans we may well see the Chinese come in search of a viable alternative. The question to ask is will that alternative simply be a meal or beans from S.America or could it be another...

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...

US markets were directionless with little new data to consume. With Canada legalising weed at least they now have another import market to get revenue from, American tourist, who will be the first weed chain café owner along the northern US border. Weakness in US wheat futures came from...

A better weather outlook in the US for those trying to finish the summer crop harvest saw technical selling dominate the US futures markets resulting in a close lower for corn, wheat and soybeans at Chicago. Warmer, dry weather across the Canadian Prairies should also help those farmers there...
