ADMIS Morning Grain comments

April 12, 2011

Early calls are lower. Most commodity markets are in the red this morning. Another after shock in Japan had Asian markets lower. Word that China will sell 3 mmt of soybeans from their reserves and continued talk of lower imports is offering resistance to soybean prices. One trading house recommendation to reduce commodity longs is also offering resistance to Crude, Copper and grains. SK is down 8 cents and near 13.59. CK is down 6 cents and near 7.69. WK is down 11 cents and near 7.87. KWK is down 5 cents and near 9.13. Dollar is sharply lower. Crude, coffee, gold, cotton, livestock and copper are lower. Cocoa, sugar, silver and rice are higher. Money flow could weigh on commodity prices but 2011 World wheat and potentially early spring US corn weather may not be bearish. What if the Dakotas do not increase SU corn acres by 2.0 mil? What if US corn yield down not make 161.0? Dalian Sep soybean futures were down 23 cents and near 18.64. Word China will sell 3 mmt from reserves offered resistance. Talk of lower 2011 rapeseed crop is offering support. Dalian Sep corn futures were down 4 cents and near 9.12. French wheat futures are lower with traders watching global demand, 2011 weather and economic outlook for direction. US Midwest weather forecast looks cool and wet across the north areas over the next 10 days. South plains continue to look mostly dry. Europe and China wheat areas still look dry. Wet weather could still slow plantings in Canada, Traditional funds sold 7,000 soybeans on Monday and are net long 111,000 soybeans, 19,700 soymeal (-2) and 58,000 soyoil (-4).
