2%. The same report indicated Ontario will see a 1.9% growth next year, while
western provinces will continue to fair better and will likely end 2011 on a
high note of economic growth. The loonie is expected to soften against its US
counterpart over the next months before recovering to current levels according
to a recent poll by Reuters.
CORN
Corn crept higher on Wednesday as buyers tentatively returned to the market
amid cautious optimism for European leaders would agree on bold measures to
resolve the region's debt crisis at a keenly awaited summit on Friday. Corn in
Chicago rebounded from a year low to rise 0.21%, while March contract edged down
in line with weakness by leading commodities such as crude oil. The latter’s
weakness continues to weigh on grains. The USDA report is expected to come on
Friday, with anticipation of corn supplies remaining tight.	



SOYBEANS
Soybean futures for January delivery rose slightly in Chicago in response to
austerity and growth measures in Europe. Drier weather in Argentina in the next
15 days will reduce soil moisture in about a third of the soybean growing areas
according to the Commodity Weather Group LLC. Rains the following week in Brazil
may begin to ease dryness that’s affecting about 40% of the crops, according
to industry speculation.
WHEAT
March wheat shed early gains weighed down by increased wheat production in
Canada, a record wheat crop in Australia and much needed moisture moving across
the US winter wheat belt. Wheat being a price leader for global grains as it
signals a floor price for corn, will ease in the next two months in Chicago
before climbing on rising feed use and a slower pace of exports from the Black
Sea region according to the president of Global Commodity Analytics &
Consulting. Given the bearish nature of the current global markets and the
relative strength of the US dollar, this may in turn be a positive outlook for
the coming year for wheat.

Harvest contract prices for December 7, 2011 at market close, are as follows:
SWW at $216.01 per tonne ($5.88/bu.), SRW at $225.31 per tonne ($6.13/bu.),
HRW at $247.63 per tonne ($6.74 /bu.), and HRS at $297.03 per tonne ($8.08
/bu.).
