Look Out!
Well, just like the Cockroaches performance tonight in the State of Origin match, the US markets were an absolute disappointment.
I was expecting some fireworks, but it was a fizzer. The futures markets were also a fizzer.
After the market close, the USDA released the crop conditions, dropping the corn crop Good to Excellent by 6% to 55%. The same time last year the corn crop was rated at 70% Good to excellent.
This is one of the lowest ratings for June in 30 years.
The market was expecting a drop of 3%.
More significantly, some of the major producing states were down the most, with Illinois down 12%, Iowa down 11% and Minnesota down 6%. These 3 states account for 42% of the corn production in the USA, and their conditions are not great.
The current conditions with the US corn crop is a pivotal time in the market and every weather forecast is being traded.
If they receive rain in the dry states, then the market will take a breath and come off.
Soybean conditions also dropped 5% to 54% Good to Excellent versus 68% for the same time last year.
US spring wheat was also down 9% to 51% Good to Excellent.
Also, Algeria bought a heap of Russian wheat over the last day, which was cheap, at USD $261.50 C&F which works back to around USD $238 FOB Black Sea, which is a bit firmer than some recent business.
Anyway, I don’t think the excitement is over just yet and I can’t wait for 2 things; the Cane Toads to take out the State of Origin shield and the market to open.
