Markets Shrug at Latest WASDE Report, Kim Anderson Says
Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:53:47 CDT
There have been several trading days since the WASDE report came out on Monday, and Oklahoma State University Small Grain Marketing Specialist Kim Anderson says in his preview to this weekend's SUNUP show that the reaction in the markets was rather "ho hum."
"I don't think there were any surprises in the report. You've got record world wheat production at 25.9 billion bushels. You've got a record U.S. corn crop that was less than the market expected at 13.76 billion bushels. Corn ending stocks were 1,480,000,000 bushels, slightly less than expectations. And wheat ending stocks for next year were projected to be 551,000,000 bushels which was relatively below.
"You look at what's happened in the world on those reports over the last couple of months, I think they've all been positive pricewise, maybe a little negative for corn, but not much. Definitely positive for wheat."
Anderson said the trade since the WASDE report was released tends to indicate the numbers were as traders expected them to be.
