USDA
reported private exporters reported sales of 128,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to unknown destinations during the 2022-23 marketing year.

 

Soybeans
and soybean meal started lower but ended higher after fund selling dried. Lack of direction was noted. Argentina came out with crop conditions during the session and both soybeans and corn declined from the previous week. Soybean oil was strong from higher
WTI crude oil earlier but even after energy prices broke, gains were maintained from oil/meal spreading. Corn traded most of the session lower before settling mixed. Wheat was lower in Chicago and high protein wheat ended higher.

USDA
Export Sales

USDA
export sales improved from the previous week on a combined crop year basis for all the major commodities. Soybean meal shipments slowed from the previous week but were still above 200,000 tons.

 

Soybean
sales included China for 283,600 MT but 252,000 MT was switched from unknown destinations and 51,300 MT switched from Pakistan. New-crop soybean sales include China for 189,000 MT and unknown destinations of 66,000 MMT.  Soybean meal sales of 270,900 tons
were ok. Soybean oil sales of 8,300 tons were highest since October 13 but cumulative crop-year sales are lowest in more than a couple decades. Corn sales slowed to 1.025 million tons old crop but were near the higher end of a range of expectations. China
bought 126,000 tons of corn. Other countries included Mexico and unknown destinations. There were 209,900 tons of 2022-23 of all wheat sales, lower end of expectations but above the previous week.

 

Sorghum
sales were 113,000 tons, all for China.

 

Pork
sales were a robust 45,000 tons and included Mexico, Japan, South Korea and China as top buyers.

Corn

·        
CBOT corn
futures
traded lower through much of the day session until prices rallied early afternoon to close mixed. Bull spreading initially limiting losses for the March and May contracts. By close, March was down 0.25 cent, May up 1.0 cent, July up 0.75 and September down
1.50. Argentina corn crop conditions declined from the previous week. Back month soybeans gain on corn. Currently the average “insurance” gage for February to date Nov/Dec futures favors corn plantings over soybeans, in our opinion, looking at the SX/CZ ratio,
against the previous 5-years for this time of year. CH remained above its 200-day MA of $6.7350.

 

 

·        
Funds sold an estimated net 1,000 corn contracts. 

·        
Although USDA export sales of sorghum are improving as China buys from the US, crop year commitments are still low. Look for no change in sorghum crop year exports by USDA in its March S&D update. 

 

 

·        
China may scale back on 2023 corn plantings by 1 percent as they switch to soybeans and use higher variety GMO seeds.

·        
IGC lowered their estimate for the 2022-23 global corn production by 8 million tons to 1.153 billion tons. They mainly cut Argentina and US output.

·        
Yesterday USDA released its February 2023 baseline tables
https://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity-markets/baseline

·        
Next week (Feb 24) USDA NASS will issue 2023-24 US S&D and selected world (exports, etc.) projections. This report may have some impact on new-crop futures prices.
https://www.usda.gov/oce/ag-outlook-forum

·        
Guatemala reported a H5N1 bird flu outbreak in wild birds. Yesterday Argentina reported they detected its first case of bird flu in wild birds and declared a health emergency. 

·        
Both Argentina corn and soybean condition slipped from the previous week.

Soybeans

·        
CBOT soybeans and meal started lower from follow through selling until fund selling dried. Lack of direction kicked around both markets during the second half of the session. Argentina came out with crop conditions, lower from
the previous week. This gave some longs an opportunity to reenter the market. Soybean oil was steady to higher earlier and gained over meal on follow through fund buying. Even as WTI crude oil weakened, soybean oil prices held their ground and settled sharply
higher.

·        
Funds bought an estimated net 2,000 soybeans, 1,000 soybean oil and 2,000 soybean oil.

·        
US RIN generation for the month of January for “biodiesel,” which should include renewable production, increased to 522 million from 355 million a year earlier. Note November use of feedstock for renewable fuels was greater than
traditional biodiesel production.  Consumption of renewable biodiesel has also been gaining ground on biodiesel since the beginning of LH 2022. This is long term bullish SBO futures as exports declined to multi decade lows in order to meet the rapidly increasing
demand for domestic industrial consumption.

S&D
update on soybean oil.
We
lowered our US soybean oil export estimate to 600 million pounds from 800 million pounds previously. It could end up lower than 600. At 115 million pounds of total commitments for this time of year, that is a poor pace to be optimistic about. USDA is
at 700 million pounds for 2022-23 crop year exports. Our import estimate is lowered 100 to 500 and food use increased 100 to 14.250 billion pounds. We are still working on our US soybean S&D balances, and they should be out over the next day or so.

CBOT march delivery prospects are dimming after 495 registrations have been cancelled from February 9th through February to just 302 contracts. SBO registrations are 467 and meal zero.  Chicago, KC and MN wheat & rice

from a weaker ringgit and higher outside related markets.

·        
The BA Grains exchange warned soybean production of current 38 million tons will likely be soon cut due to the heatwave over the past week. They also mentioned an upcoming cold snap bringing frosts to growing areas in the south
could hurt crops.
