CORN
Values consolidated after Friday’s limit up reaction to the smaller than
expected US corn crop estimate. After this sharp re-adjustment the trade may now
face several weeks of limited new information inputs. The trade will however
continue to debate the direction of final crop estimates fearing further
reductions in production.
 
US corn stocks will now decline to minimally acceptable levels this year and an
additional 9 million acres will be required next year to stabilize supply and
demand. Total world grain supplies will decline nearly 2.2 billion bushels after
a moderately smaller US crop and one of the worst droughts in history in the
FSU. 
 
As world buffer stocks are eroded, demand rationing is likely to occur and a
global food crisis will become more likely. 
 
SOYBEANS
Nearby soybean opened up more than $1 on Monday morning. US yield expectations
were smaller than expected in last Friday’s USDA report and ideas of larger
demand now finds traders fearing only a moderate stock building this year and an
extreme acreage battle next year competing with corn. Without an expansion of US
soy plantings in 11-12 US stocks could decline to intolerably tight levels.
 
Chinese soybean imports were up 68% during September compared with last year.
October loadings are projected to be up 51% and November 64% higher. Overall the
USDA expect China to import 9% more soybeans this year.  
 
Weekly US soybean exports are strong at 37.9 million bushels with last week
revised up to 26 million and compared to 25.5 million last year. 
 
WHEAT
Wheat markets were boosted higher by the corn market rally following Friday’s
USDA report. However since then values then traded independently lower. The
wheat market does not appear to be suffering the same supply tightness as the
corn and soybean markets. While world coarse grain and oilseeds S&D situations
tighten dramatically in 11-12, world wheat supplies could stabilize with
beneficial weather.
 
 
US winter wheat planting is now 70% complete, with indications SRW plantings
may be as much as 3 million acres higher than last year. 
 
Some better moisture for the Former Soviet Union and continued good weather in
Western Canada is weighing on wheat markets.
