STATELINE COOPERATIVE’S AFTERNOON COMMENTS

Corn North Burt: down 3 @ $ 7.43

Futures traded in 13-16 cent ranges and closed a few cents lower across the board with lack of support from wheat and overall, a quiet day ahead of the WASDE on Monday. Corn appears to be a follower with little fresh news to trade. The first ethanol report of the new crop year showed production down 19k bpd to 989,000 bpd, inventories down .4 million barrels to 23.1 million barrels, and net margins down 15 cents to net positive 6 cents.

• CONAB updated their estimate for the 2021/22 total corn crop to 113.272 MMT vs 114.691 previously. Their updated export estimate for corn is at 37 MMT vs. 37.5 previously.
• Closes: December 22 down 2’4 at 668’4, March 23 down 2’4 at 673’2, May 23 down 2’2 at 674’4, and December 23 down 2’4 at 617’4.
• Spreads: Z/H steady at 4’6 carry, Z/K steady at 5’6 carry, Z/N steady at 1’2 carry.

 Soybean: up 3 @ $13.96

Soybeans ended the day higher across the board with some support from soybean oil, meal ended the day lower, and board crush values mixed. According to the Rosario Grain Exchange, Argentine farmers sold 3.1 MMT of soybeans from Monday-Wednesday, nearly 5 times more than last week. Due to this, China is reported to be buying up cargoes from Argentina as they have the cheapest supply right now, the U.S. is reported to be competitive later this year, and then Brazil getting some attention early next year.

• CONAB updated their estimate of 2021/22 soybean crop to 125.552 MMT vs. 124.048 previously.
• Closes: November 22 up 2’4 at 1386’0, January 23 up 2’4 at 1391’2, March 23 up 2’6 at 1493’6, and November 23 up 1’0 at 1331’2.
• December product closes: soybean oil up 113 at 63.23, meal down 4.6 at 405.9, and board crush down 2 at 203.0
• Spreads: X/F stronger at 5’0 carry, X/H steady at 8’4 carry, and X/K down at 12’0 carry.
