Mid Session Comments
May 12, 2010 Dan Knaak

Corn, beans and wheat all opened higher on news that China purchased more corn overnight.  The higher markets gave way when the crude oil inventories was released and showed a build in crude supplies.  This put pressure on the ethanol markets when crude oil went down and eventually the corn and wheat markets gave in.  Also, the rumor was Argentina released some more corn for export.


USDA Supply and Demand Report
May 11, 2010 Al Kluis


About this report:
The key numbers in the monthly Supply/Demand report are the “ending stocks”. This tells the amount of grain on hand, available for sale at the end of the marketing year. When ending stocks get low--or simply lower than expected--this can push prices up. When ending stocks go up or are higher than expected – this can push prices down.


Al’s analysis:
This month’s report is considered slightly positive for corn and soybeans  and neutral for  wheat prices. The corn ending stocks projections came in the low end of the trade estimates. Ethanol usage was increased by 100 million bushels, exports by 50 million bushels. This more than offset the small 0.2 bu/ac increase in the 2009 corn yield. For the projections for next year the USDA used a projected corn yield of 163.5 bushels per acre. This was above earlier projections reflecting early planting. For soybeans, crush and exports were increased by 15 million bushels, while residual was dropped by 15 million bushels. So after this shift, ending stocks are still at 190 million bushels. I view the report as friendly The soybean yield  came in at 42.9 bushels per acre for 2010. The wheat numbers were not changed.
