Grain Market Insight
Afternoon Grain Comments 04-25-24- StoneX reporting, “Surprisingly good export sales data supported corn values for most of the session. The strong corn sales this week narrowed the gap between the USDA’s projection and the pace the US is on to make it. US export sales this week were a passing distraction today as the short-Managed Money funds continue to lighten up their position in KC and Chicago. Sales were slightly better than feared today.” Soybean exports are again lower and slightly disappointing. China’s declining activity in with soybeans is affecting the US’s ability to hit is goals. Some talk about concerns that Russia’s wheat crop is shrinking due to lack of rain. The drought monitor today showed that for the US, Kansas and Oklahoma soil moisture is backsliding. For our area, some moisture would go a long way. At the close, cash wheat was 8 cents higher, milo and corn were 3 cents higher and soybeans were 3 cents lower. Have a great evening.
Morning Grain Comments 4-25-2024 – The trading ranges overnight were a penny wider than they were the night session yesterday in another two-sided session for corn and wheat with May and July soybeans leaving gaps of less than a penny trading lower throughout the session and ending near the low for the session. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning, “wheat volume and bullish price action remained strong over-night with the spot May Chicago contract hitting the $6/bushel mark, a 2 1/2- month high; rain chances are on the way today for dry southern Plains winter wheat areas, but severe weather chances could offset that benefit. Corn and soybean planting should be progressively tremendously across the Midwest ahead of heavy likely rains tomorrow through the weekend, and chart action there is reflecting that with wheat failing to prop up the entire complex.” The export sales report this morning at 7:30 showed 51.2 million bushels of old crop corn which was nearly 16 million bushels above the upper end of the pre-report trade estimates and there were 10.3 million bushels of new crop corn sales. The soybean sales come in with a disappointing 7.75 million bushels of old crop sales and 4.4 million bushels of new crop sales. There were 16.7 million bushes of old and new crop wheat sales in the report, so not too bad and there were 1.5 million bushels of old crop milo sales. In world grain trade news, Algeria purchased 1.2 million bushels of corn, 7.3 million bushels of durum, and 30,000 tonnes of soybean meal in their tender this week and flour millers in Taiwan purchased 3.9 million bushels of milling wheat from the U.S. At 7:45 at the end of the night session this morning, Kansas City May wheat was 1.5 cents higher, Chicago May corn was up 0.5 cent, and Chicago May soybeans ended the night session 8.25 cents lower. Have wonderful day.

This Day In History
April 25, 1974
Chancellor Willy Brandt sect Gunther Guillaume found to be a spy
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove .... but the world maybe different because I was important in the life of a child."
March 25 Blowing snow most of the day gave us a little bit of moisture in Sublette.
February 11 A little flurry of snow on the 10th but about an inch or so received on the 11th in Sublette.
January 22 - February 2 - a number of damp, foggy days did not give us much moisture in the gage but left the area very wet where snow had still been melting.
January 8 Snow, wind, wind, and wind 4 inches of snow? 5?
January 5, 2024 Snow most of the morning gave us about 3 inches or so in Sublette.
December 13 & 14 Two days of rain gave us over 2.5 inches of rain in Sublette.
