The dollar was a smidge higher this morning, only +0.17%, not enough to take a significant amount away from international cash or futures conversions. Generally grain prices around the world were flat to lower for cash and flat to firmer for futures. Premium wheat moved lower out of Canada...

The weaker AUD is countering most of the negativity in world cash and futures markets for grains last night. The AUD is weaker against the US dollar. The odds appear to be back on for a rate hike in the USA as tariffs increase the cost of goods, thus...

The international market, mainly the US market, is still digesting the vast meal that was the August USDA WASDE report. Some may have suffered indigestion from this report others may still be in the loo, given size of the meal. A market mover it was, but are these moves...
