Still waiting the quarterly report quite nervously and the only thing to do is risk-off, wait and see. So unsurprisingly, market ended softer with funds taking profits: they sold 1,000 lots of Corn, 3,500 lots of Soybeans and 3,000 lots of Wheat.
After a strong start of the week, market closed collectively down in a very typical double sided session. Soybeans ended down -2.75 cents, Corn -3.25 cents, and Wheat -6.00 cents in Chicago, -11 cents in Kansas and -5.50 cents in Minneapolis
Friday, Soybeans closed down -1.50 cent, Corn up +1.25 cent and the main movement was on Wheat: +4.50 cents in Chicago, +8.25 cents in Kansas and +9.75 cents in Minneapolis.
Friday was a kind of déjà vu… Soybeans up +8.75 cents, Wheat down -11.00 cents in Chicago (-14.00 cents in Kansas, -3.75 cents in Minneapolis) and Corn stuck in the middle at -4.00 cents.
After a hesitant start of the day, market closed collectively higher: Soybeans up +6.50 cents on drought in Argentina, Wheat up +9.25 cents in Chicago, +11.75 cents in Kansas and +4.00 cents in Minneapolis on US drought while Corn was relatively quiet (+2.00 cents) in comparison.
