GRAIN COMMENTARY


MORNING COMMENTS:

Thursday Sept. 12th, 2024

The September WASDE report will be released today at 11am.

Corn +3

Corn futures had an uneventful overnight session. December 24 futures are trading up against its 10-day moving average of 4.05’6. December 25 futures are close to reaching its 50-day moving average of 4.45’6. The average US yield estimate for today’s report is 182.4 bu/ac. US corn production is expected to slightly decrease to 15.076 billion bushels. US corn ending stocks are estimated to decrease around 66 million bushels from last month’s WASDE report. CONAB updated their Brazil corn crop totals to 115.72 MMT vs. their previous estimate of 115.65 MMT.

Beans +6

Bean futures are trading higher this morning. November 24 futures are close to reaching its 10-day moving average of 10.07’4. November 25 futures are close to reaching its 50-day moving average of 10.59’4. US export sales this week for 2024/25 were 1,474,000 MT and within the market’s estimates. US bean yield should hold steady at 53.2 bu/ac in today’s WASDE. US bean production should remain unchanged, and US ending stocks are estimated to increase by 5 million bushels. CONAB estimates Brazil’s 2023/24 crop at 147.38 MMT.

Spring Wheat +6

Winter Wheat +8

Wheat futures are trading higher this morning. Mpls and KC December 24 futures are both trading higher than their 10-day and 50-day moving averages this morning. US wheat export sales this week were up 40% from last week at 474,900 MT. The wheat balance sheet shouldn’t see any big chances today. US 2024/25 ending stocks are expected to decrease around 5 million bushels to 823 million bushels. World ending stocks are also expected to slightly decrease to around 255.31 MMT. Strategie Grains decreased their European Union soft wheat estimate by 2.1 MMT to 114.4 MMT. CONAB decreased their Brazil wheat production estimate to 8.8 MMT.
