Back to school, happy New Year! Some were actually back last week and market was a bit all over the place: Soybeans moved up +7.57%, SoyMeal +3.18% and SoyOil -0.94%.
Friday was a typical sideways session with Soybeans ending down -6.50 cents, they don’t really know where to go with all this trade talks news and fake news and the don’t manage to escape significantly from the 900 cents levels.
Two-sided session yesterday in the US, Soybeans ended sharply up in the end: +24.00 cents. Corn also rebounded closing up +4.50 cent. Strong export inspections probably triggered more short covering. Wheat purely followed, ending up +7.75 cents in Chicago, +7.50 cents in Kansas, +4.50 cents in Minneapolis.
Friday was still in digestion mode after the USDA WASDE, there’s a lot of risk off as short bets, even if right, would pay off in a few weeks time if not months are good news will now come from plantings and winter weather.
Weak day again as Soybeans closed down -10.75 cents, Corn -1.75 cents, Wheat -4.50 cents in Chicago, -3.25 cents in Kansas and -1.75 cents in Minneapolis. On the other side of the Pond, no exception, market was also very weak with MATIF Milling Wheat down -€0.75 and London Feed -£1.95.
Dull Monday with Soybeans up 0.75 cent and Corn down -1.75 cent. Only wheat was a bit more active, ignoring the scaremongering coming from Australia and Russia and ended down -7.00 cents in Chicago, -6.75 cents in Kansas and -2.25 cents in Minneapolis.
