CORN
Corn prices remained steady this week with the trade waiting on Fridays USDA
report. 
 
The trade is not expecting the September USDA yield estimate to fully factor in
the recent dryness and summer heat in the US. Analysts expect only a slight
decrease from the August estimate of 165 b/ac. However if the dry conditions
continue some see the eventual yield being no larger than 158 b/ac. 
 
Questions around US yield combined with uncertainty around EU and Russian crops
is leading to a wide variety of supply/demand scenarios. Friday’s USDA report
will likely provide some clarity however the market will likely remain volatile
for some time. 
 
Record demand combined with tight carryout has produced a very wide inverse
July – Dec spread. However there is a growing need for several million
additional corn acres next year, particularly if the wheat and soybean rallies
continue.  
 
If corn prices pull further higher ethanol blending margins will enter negative
territory, possibly leading to calls for the US government to temporarily waive
the ethanol mandate. 
 
SOYBEANS
 
Soybeans surged as early harvest activity in the US produced smaller than
expected yields. Surveys are still suggesting near record 44 bu per acre yield,
however the trade is nervous that with larger demand from China and the EU, a
small decline in yields could find stocks remaining at very tight levels next
year and perhaps beyond. 
 
The trade is watching dry weather in parts of Brazil and fear of La Nina
pattern this year may prevent another large crop in South America despite
Brazilian acres being up 3-4% from last year. In the long term, western
hemisphere acreage must increase over 6 million acres annually to meet demand. 
 
The Chinese soybean crushing capacity has reportedly reached 100 mmt per annum.
To fully utilize this capacity China will need to dramatically increase soybean
imports from current levels of around 1 mmt per week. 
 
 
 
WHEAT
Wheat markets had a mixed week ahead of the USDA report and with suggestions
that Russia might end its export ban sooner than expected. The Former Soviet
Union has received some rain however many areas remain dry with fall planting
continued to be delayed.
 
The USDA is expected to again lower Former Soviet Union and EU wheat crop
estimates in Friday’s supply/demand reports. US stocks should remain adequate
to burdensome but world supply/demand will most likely continue to tighten.
 
With one quarter of the crop year gone cumulative US wheat export loadings
