After EU leaders agreed last week on measures to help Greece stabilize the
euro, the Greek prime minister stunned fellow euro zone partners earlier and
shook financial markets by calling a referendum on the formerly planned 178
billion euro bailout package and 50% write-down on debt. The ongoing turmoil
could potentially lead to an early government election in Greece which in turn
will further destabilize markets as more Greek politics trickle to the already
volatile global economy. The Canadian dollar drifted higher against its US
counterpart on Wednesday, while Canada’s Office of the Parliamentary Budget
Officer is predicting slower economic growth and higher unemployment than the
Harper government and noted that the national budget probably won't be balanced
until 2016-17 at the earliest.
CORN
Corn gained in Chicago amid speculation of lower production in Mexico, the
world’s second- largest importer of corn will lift imports and add to
tightening supplies.According to the USDA, world corn stocks are forecast to
fall as rising consumption outpaces production. FCStone estimated the national
corn yield at 148.4 bu/acre down 0.3 bu/acre from last month but still above
USDA’s number.
 SOYBEANS
The US soybean market, the world’s largest grower and exporter will harvest
3.109 billion bushels according to the recent FCStone forecast, lowering its
forecast from 3.157 billion bushels last month. The latest estimate compares
with the USDA’s forecast of 3.06 billion bushels on October 1st. Soybean
harvest in Ontario continues thanks to dryer weather conditions.
 
WHEAT
Wheat futures slipped amidst speculation of wheat production totalling 688.7
million metric tons this year, a 1.1% increase over the most recent USDA
estimate according to Informa Economics Inc., an agriculture research company.
Chicago wheat futures for December delivery dropped 1.1% to $6.23/bu.
 
Harvest contract prices for November 2, 2011 at close, are as follows:
SWW at $221.45 per tonne ($6.03/bu.), SRW at $221.45 per tonne ($6.03/bu.),
HRW at $255.03 per tonne ($6.94 /bu.), and HRS at $330.04 per tonne ($8.98
