Market Talk

The Federal Reserve left interest rates alone on Wednesday afternoon; some expected a 25 basis point rate hike. What impact will that have on the outside markets and in turn the commodity markets? We discuss that along with weather, the rough day in cattle and more today with Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics. Learn more at https://www.globalcommresearch.com.

Strength in vegetable oils, a delay in the 2023-2025 RVO targets under the RFS and weather all supported the soy complex on Tuesday. Corn and wheat had their own stories but had a somewhat disappointing close. Cattle had a really solid move higher once again. And, we are keeping our eyes on the outside markets as we await the latest from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday afternoon and more economic data.

We discuss the markets today with Jacob Burks of AgMarket.net.

The soy complex is the upside leader in grains at midday Tuesday as strength in vegetable oils, worsening crop conditions nationwide plus some breaking news with the Renewable Fuels Standard, all combining to give strength on the day. Corn is higher as well on weather and wheat benefiting from another breaking news story involving Russia today. We get the latest with Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX.

Corn was the market leader to start the week on Monday as many traders were unhappy with the weekend rainfall totals, which led to buy stops being triggered on short covering. Soybeans and wheat were more mixed as the soy complex was weighed down by lower crude oil and wheat lacked a strong story. Lean hogs were strong while cattle were mixed to higher on the day.

Corn is the upside leader to start off the week after weekend rainfall totals left plenty to be desired for some folks. Overall, markets are mixed outside of the corn market. We discuss with Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX.

On Friday, USDA released the June World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report with very minimal changes seen to the balance sheets in both the United States and around the world. And that resulted in minimal market reaction heading into a big weekend as farmers are looking for rainfall to help crops across the Corn Belt.

We discuss the WASDE report and market sentiment/risk management today with two of our favorite market experts. In Segment One and Two, we talk with Ted Seifried of Zaner Ag Hedge. Learn more online at https://www.zaner.com.
