its bailout deal amid political upheaval, and Spain's increased demand for its
banks to raise 35 billion euros for construction needs added to concerns. CMHC
issued its annual report recently dismissing fears of a housing bubble in the
Canada. This came to light as the organization’s purpose of existence came to
question by Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty. CMHC’s concluded in their report
that no factual signs of a housing bubble exist and housing starts estimates are
ahead of forecast.
CORN 
Corn fell in Chicago as traders position themselves ahead of the coming USDA
report. Tight old crop supplies and tighter farmer holding have pushed cash
prices above the futures in several locations for nearby delivery. Elevators are
shifting bids towards the July contract, as May contracts expire beginning of
next week.
SOYBEANS
Soybean fell in Chicago ahead of the USDA report on Thursday. The report is
anticipated to have inventories at mere 12% lower at the end of the crop's
marketing year than it previously forecast, due to strong export demand
according to the Dow Jones Newswires. Soybean futures prices have rallied since
the beginning of 2012 on concerns about lower South American output and growing
Chinese demand. Asian demand continues to increase and could cut into North
American inventories. The USDA has marked the eighth consecutive export sale to
China or to an unmarked destinations which typically traders assume means China
as well. 
WHEAT
Wheat fell in Chicago on EU woes, a stronger US dollar and cautious positioning
ahead of USDA report Thursday. Rekindling of the Euro zone debt crisis amid
political uncertainty in Greece and financial instability in Spain put downward
pressure on the euro and various linked commodities.The oncoming USDA report is
expected to have an increase in wheat supplies due to near-perfect growing
conditions in key production areas of the US Plains.             
Contract prices for May 9th, 2012 at close, are as follows:
SWW at $213.52 per tonne ($5.81/bu.), HRW at $241.13 per tonne ($6.56 /bu.),
HRS at $254.10 per tonne ($6.92 /bu.), and SRW at $215.36 per tonne ($5.86
/bu.).
