There were arguments to be made on the fundamental and technical side that support the rally, but the macro picture is certainly Read more…

Report Numbers don’t always match market response

There are a lot of reasons why the market might react differently than expected when a major piece of information has come out. However, it seems like this has been happening with greater frequency in the grain markets over the past few years. While there might be a few reasons Read more…

Speculating On Final Yields May Be Costly

Debates over the yields are raging right now, but does it really matter? Of course it will matter when it all gets sorted out, but it may not help as much as you’d expect in the short term. The markets always revert back to their fundamental value, but we all Read more…

Non bullish USDA report – Where the market stands

It’s more appropriate to call the USDA report non-bullish than bearish. Everyone knew the crop would be huge, that was no real surprise. Still, the market broke aggressively.

COT shows no short covering, now what?

Last week we saw the Corn market rally 7 3/4¢ and the Soybean market up 10 3/4¢. Not a huge move, but definitely a continuation of the grind higher. Many “analysts” estimated funds buying futures (covering their shorts) every day last week, yet the COT report didn’t reflect that. It Read more…
