Grain Prices Recovering after WASDE Report - and we have your SUNUP preview
Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:37:33 CDT
After a rollercoaster of a week in the wheat and grain marketplace, Dr. Kim Anderson, Oklahoma State University Grain Marketing Specialist, says there was a big surprise this week with corn prices, wheat prices and soybean prices all up right before the USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report was released.
Anderson says it is unusual to see either a significant up move or down move with prices right before that report comes out. However, if you look at the WASDE report, Anderson says there are some other surprises in it. The corn production estimate was 38 million bushels below the average, while the soybeans were 21 million bushels below average.
When it comes to ending production stocks, corn was 60 million bushels above the trade estimate for ending stocks. Soybeans were 23 million bushels below and wheat was 104 million bushels above the trade expectations.
Overall, says Anderson, there was a marginally negative impact for corn, slightly positive impact for soybeans, and a really negative impact for wheat.
