Today's reports were bullish corn and soybeans, but that statement is not enough to properly determine price expectations for the next several weeks. Demand reduction was already set in motion by pre-report price levels. And, there was certainly a universal bullish expectation going into today's reports.
Prices are notably off their highs and it doesn't take much weakness to trigger liquidation pressures. South American weather is favorable/acceptable/improving. Conab is still projecting Brazil's soybean production potential to be similar to what it was at the beginning of the growing season. China is well supplied and their domestic prices and crush margins support that statement. China's negotiating stance with a new Biden administration might be strengthened with a slow purchase pace of US ag goods from here forward. A look at 2012 into 2013 is a sobering reminder to producers and speculators that supply-driven bull markets can end much earlier than participants expect. Lots to discuss today. Today is a must listen for producers who have become complacent with a "no sales" stance.
South American weather remains the key fundamental focus and some concerns do exist. That said, there is a LOT of moisture in the 2-week outlook. As the forecasts begin to reach the Dec 15 timeframe, the marketplace tends to build confidence in South American production potential. IF the current 2-week moisture outlook verifies, traders will build confidence in overall production potential that will be very similar to pre-season expectations.
This week Duane discusses Election 2020, the Nov 10 USDA report and how we should react to last week's price weakness. The next 10 days offer lots of potential for uncertainty and market volatility. Let's take a step-back view and see if we can identify what should be the big picture theme of the next several weeks.
Technical conditions warn of an imminent price correction and the potential that this could be a long-lasting price peak. Producers have ample reasons to make sales with confidence. Do you really want to pass up what is offered? It's time for a serious self-examination. Have a listen!
Duane discusses current prices with a focus on post-election possibilities and the risk to prices that all farmers need to respect. This is a must-listen edition of our podcast!
Prices have been firm into mid-Oct. During the past 12 years, you can only find 2 examples where "not selling" in mid-Oct proved to be the correct approach. In many years, this time frame proved to be the highest values seen through mid-December.
These are difficult times and every decision has a downside risk. In today's podcast I discuss yesterday's crash in ethanol plant corn basis bids and how to proceed from here forward.
CPA Paul Neiffer, who is fully engaged in agricultural policy, discusses Prevent Plant payment deferments and how other aid programs tie into this whole thing.
Jeff Cole, with Pioneer in northwest Indiana, offers insights into producers' decisions and planting progress.
