traders think the inflation story is starting to die down.
Increasing
Covid-19 cases across Europe prompted additional restrictions and warnings this week. This should be monitored over the weekend into the short trading week (Friday CBOT holiday) as it could influence outside commodity and equity markets if the situation worsens
next week. Most EU countries will change clocks this weekend. Wednesday & Thursday will be heavy data driven days with USDA stocks and plantings Wednesday, EIA data that will add renewable fuel data (sometime Wed.), followed by NASS soybean crush on Thursday
and export sales. USDA’s official crop progress report (initial) looks like it will be released April 5 @ 3:00 pm, not this Monday. We will get selected state data this Monday.

South
Dakota could see temps in the 80’s this weekend. Too much precipitation for the Delta that will slow fieldwork activity. Midwest will not start planting for a week or two so there is no concern there except for the Ten River Basin where too much rain will
occur. Severe weather for US yesterday and today will yield(ed) local heavy rain.

Weather Inc.
NOT
MUCH CHANGE OVERNIGHT
- Argentina
rainfall overnight was widespread from northern La Pampa and northern and eastern parts of Buenos Aires into Santiago del Estero, southern Chaco and southern Corrientes
o
Amounts varied greatly with some locations receiving less than 0.25 inch while others reported 1.00 to 2.00 inches
- One
location along the east-central San Luis border with Cordoba reported more than 3.00 inches
o
The past two days of rain was welcome for a large part of the nation and lingering rain into Saturday will be most likely in the far south and east
o
Nearly a week of drying will follow and then scattered showers will resume again
o
The bottom line remains favorable for the majority of Argentina’s grain, oilseed, cotton and other crops, although there will be a few pockets of drier biased conditions
- Brazil’s
biggest issue is weather in the middle and latter part of April
o
Net drying is expected for the coming ten days in the heart of Safrinha corn country
- The
drier bias will be good initially so that harvesting of late soybeans can conclude along with the planting of Safrinha corn.
- Concern
is rising about late April precipitation and soil moisture, although crops will likely have sufficient subsoil moisture to get them through the month if only erratic rain falls - May
would be the more challenging month for late season cotton and corn in Brazil if rainfall in the second half of April is lighter and more sporadic than usual.
- U.S.
weather will trend colder during the early to middle part of the week next week from the northern Plains into the Delta and southeastern states; including most of the Midwest
o
Frost and freezes are expected, but most winter crops are not far enough advanced to be permanently harmed
o
Crops are most advanced in the Delta and southeastern states, but temperatures should stay above the permanent damage threshold relative for their development
o
A little rain will accompany the cold into the eastern United States, but after the precipitation falls and the cold air settles in there may be at least a week’s worth of net drying which should help promote planting progress
in many areas south of the Ohio River
- South
Texas may get some rain in the latter part of next week, but some of the moisture is a little overdone
o
Nevertheless 0.50 to 1.50 inches of moisture could benefit many crops in the region – especially the dryland crop of corn, sorghum and cotton
- West
Texas will receive very little precipitation over the next ten days
o
Showers and thunderstorms may evolve late in the first week of April and more likely in the second week, but confidence over the resulting rain being significant is very low
- Unusually
warm to hot temperatures, strong wind speeds and low humidity will impact the Great Plains briefly late this weekend into Monday just ahead of a colder airmass
o
The colder air will drop high temperatures in the northern Plains from the 70s and lower 80s down to the 30s and 40s and a little rain and snow mix will occur as the colder air arrives
- However,
no drought busting precipitation is expected
o
A second wave of unseasonably warm to hot weather is expected to evolve in the Great Plains and Canada’s Prairies late next week through April 5 before shifting to the east in the following week
o
Each of these shots of hot and dry weather will raise concern over soil moisture and spring planting potentials in the driest areas in the northern Plains and Canada’s Prairies
- U.S.
hard red winter wheat areas will also dry down during the next ten days, despite a little precipitation infrequently
o
Concern about returning dryness may become the market chatter in the first week of April
- Southwestern
U.S. weather will remain dry biased and mild through the next ten days supporting some fieldwork - U.S.
Pacific Northwest needs greater precipitation in the valleys especially the Yakima Valley into central Oregon where the ground is too dry for unirrigated winter crops - Mexico
drought remains serious and unlikely to change prior to the arrival of seasonal rainfall this summer - U.S.
northern Plains and Canada’s Prairies need significant rain and it will not likely come in great enough quantities anytime soon to make much difference
o
Today’s GFS model run suggested greater precipitation Sunday into Tuesday across the Prairies
o
Greater precipitation is expected in the second half of April
- India
weather will be almost ideal for crop maturation and harvesting in the next few weeks’ the nation may have lost a little production this year because of dryness during reproduction, but another big crop is expected - China
weather remains almost ideal for early season fieldwork and winter crop development in the Yellow River Basin, North China Plain and northeastern provinces, although warming is needed - China’s
Yangtze River Basin has been a little wet this month and drier and warmer weather is needed to induce better rapeseed and southern wheat conditions, but no significant loss in production potential has occurred - Yunnan,
China is still too dry and needs significant rain for its rice, corn and sugarcane - Australia’s
Queensland and New South Wales crop areas are moving into a drier biased weather pattern for the next ten days improving crop and field conditions after recent abundant rainfall - Severe
flooding in coastal areas of New South Wales, Australia is abating and the cleanup efforts are under way - Indonesia
and Malaysia weather has been and will continue to be good for all crops, although there is need for rain in northern parts of Peninsular Malaysia - Philippines
weather has been and will continue to be good for most of its crops - Mainland
Southeast Asia crop areas need a boost in precipitation to induce better early season planting conditions for corn and sugarcane development as well - Eastern
Ukraine into Kazakhstan will receive rain additional over the next few days and the moisture boost will be very good for future crop development
o
This precipitation began Wednesday and will linger into Saturday
- Much
of western and northern Russia is still snow bound and needs to experience additional melting and a bout of dry and warm weather to get the remaining snow to melt - Europe
weather is rated mostly very good, although cool conditions have delayed the greening of some crops
o
Warming is expected in this coming week
- Soil
moisture in Europe is rated favorably with some drying in Spain that will need to be eased in April to ensure the best dryland crop conditions
o
additional drying is expected in much of the continent during the coming week to ten days – especially in the west
- North
Africa will be drying down in the coming week to ten days; recent rain has been good for early season wheat and barley development, although northwestern Algeria and southwestern Morocco are still too dry - West-central
Africa coffee and cocoa weather has been very good recently and that is not likely to change much for a while; some rice and sugarcane has benefited from the pattern as well
o
Rain fell from Benin to Ghana Wednesday and early today lifting soil moisture in many coffee and cocoa production areas
- This
event will move to the west into Ivory Coast today - East-central
Africa rainfall has been erratic recently and a boost in precipitation should come to Ethiopia in April while Tanzania begins to dry down - South
Africa weather will continue favorably mixed for early maturing summer crops and the development of late season crops
- New
Zealand weather is expected to turn a little wetter in the coming week, but rain amounts will still be lighter than usual except along the west coast of South Island across portions of North Island where rain will be greatest - Southern
Oscillation Index this morning was -1.69 and the index is expected to rise additionally this weekend

- Corn
ended the week down 0.9%. Oats were 2.5% higher. Funds
on Friday bought an estimated net 11,000 contracts. May
corn finished 6 cents higher at $5.5250/bu. Higher
WTI and a lower USD was limited early downside risk from a bearish USDA pig report. March 31 is USDA report day so expect traders to increase positioning Monday and Tuesday.
- CBOT
corn started mixed to lower from lack of bullish news but by late morning was up sharply led by the nearby on technical buying and firm basis values (Iowa). The March 1 US corn stocks estimates published by Reuters and Bloomberg yesterday got traders thinking
again about the US carryout for 2020-21. A 185 million decrease in the average trade guess from March 1, 2020 corn stocks, with half of the crop year done, and large US exports expected for the second part of the crop year, may suggest USDA is underestimating
the carryout for 2020-21 by 100 to 150 million bushels. We look for large US corn export inspections on Monday as shipments to China and other countries increase, replacing waning soybean exports. Average weekly corn inspections should be higher during the
month of April based on the Great Lakes reopening shipping. Looking at total US corn commitments versus shipments, US corn exports should be very strong through end of August.
- USDA
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Mexico still plans to ban imports of genetically modified (GMO) corn, but only for food consumption, not corn for feed. We are not sure the percentage of US white corn is GMO and need to explore this. Mexico imports
an extremely large amount of US yellow corn for feed. Banning imports of both varieties would have not made any sense as Mexico depends on GMO corn imports to meet consumption requirement. Mexico imported about 16.5 million tons of corn in 2020 with majority
US origin (14.628MMT in 2019-20 crop-year).
- South
Korean importers bought a large amount of wheat this week but on Friday passed on corn due to high prices.
- Reuters
trade estimates for US corn plantings average 92.21 million acres, above USDA’s February estimate of 92.0 million and compares to 90.819 million year ago.
- The
container ship blocking passage in the Suez Canal may not be dislodged until at least Wednesday. A Bloomberg article suggested 7% of US seaborne grain exports could be affected, most of it corn.
Export

Korea’s KOCOPIA group passed on 55,000 tons of corn due to high prices. Offers ranged from $306 & $313/ton C&F. It was for arrival around July 20.
Monthly
Biofuels Capacity and Feedstocks Update (repeat
with link) The EIA (Energy Information Administration) will expand their biofuel data in its monthly report to by adding renewable fuels on March 31, including production capacities for biodiesel and feedstocks used in the production. It will be called Monthly
Biofuels Capacity and Feedstocks Update, replacing Monthly Biodiesel Production Report. USDA will adopt the data. Press release:

- Soybean
futures fell 1.1% for the week, meal down 1.0% and SBO off 2.6%. - CBOT
soybean complex was mixed to start, and eventually nearby SBO touching limit lower for the second consecutive day (May settled 250 lower & July down 230 points). Note total soybean oil futures open interest fell only 806 contracts on Friday. May soybean meal
was off $0.60 and July up $0.30. May soybeans dropped 13.75 cents to $14.0050. Friday morning Gulf soybean oil was around 550 over and another source put US fob Gulf at $1344/ton, up about 2.4% from week earlier.
- Funds
on Friday sold an estimated net 16,000 soybean contracts bought 1,000 soybean meal and sold an estimated 14,000 soybean oil.
- Last
time SBO closed the 250 point limit lower amount prior to this week was 3/15/2011, and last time closed limit down for two consecutive days was 3/28/2008 (down 250) & 3/31/2008 (down 350). Volatility surged this week. Since 1961, there have 11 trading days
nearby SBO closed down 250 points. - Some
speculate the market was SBO overbought. Others noted technical selling and easing concerns over inflation. Regardless, SBO finally managed to divorce itself this week from fluctuations in WTI crude oil. May SBO traded and ended below its 20-day MA, a bearish
signal. The 50-day is at 48.33 (closed at 52.48 Friday). Longer term the renewable diesel story still stands, and the trade will get a glimpse of demand on Wednesday when EIA publishes initial capacity, production and use of the alternative green energy
product. Meal started lower on product spreading and a bearish USDA pigs report but turned around after SBO posted a lower trade. Soybeans followed SBO lower, but not by enough to support crush values that were destroyed by afternoon trading from the weakness
in SBO. CBOT May crush was down 14.75 cents to 66 cents, lowest since March 10th. It traded as high as 87 cents earlier this week.
- Global
cash and selected vegetable oil futures prices were lower from yesterday, but much of that movement was in response to lower SBO on Thursday. China and Malaysian vegetable oil markets will be in focus Sunday night. Rotterdam nearby soybean oil and rapeseed
oil fell about 10 euros per ton from late Thursday. Palm oil traded more than 4% lower and overnight reached a 3-month low on Friday.
China
Dalian’s most-active soyoil contract fell 5.5% and China palm oil fell 6.2%.
- Trade
estimates for US soybean plantings range from 86.1 to 91.6 million acres, wide in our opinion.
Reuters
trade estimates for US soybean plantings average 89.996 million acres, in line with USDA’s February estimate of 90 million and compares to 83.084 million year ago. Regardless of outcome, look for 2021-22 US soybean stocks to end up tight, like this year.
- During
the trade we heard a US animal unit end user company bought a smaller size Brazil soybean cargo this week, a rare move. It is not that uncommon for US companies to take a few corn cargoes from other countries time to time but for soybeans its uncommon and
a reminder stocks are expected to get very tight this summer. - EU
demand for Argentina SME increased this week. - Russia
plans to impose an export tax on sunflower oil for one year from Sept. 1 set at 70% of the difference between its indicative price per ton and $1,000. They will also impose an export tax on sunflower seeds between July 1, 2021 and Sept. 1, 2022 at 50% of
its price, but not less than $320 per ton. The duty for sunseeds is currently set in euro at a lower level, according to Reuters.
- A
Bloomberg survey on 2020-21 India palm oil imports showed traders looking for a 11 percent increase to around 8 million tons from previous season, while total edible vegetable oil consumption may end up unchanged. Higher soybean oil and sunflower oil prices
are thought to deter imports of those commodities, making India more dependent on palm oil.
- China
cash crush margins on our analysis were 168 (167 previous), vs. 175 cents late last week and compares to 184 cents year earlier.

grain exports via Econ Min – down 22.7% to 34.73 million tons so far this season, including 14.22 million tons of wheat, 15.83 million tons of corn and 4.1 million tons of barley.
Ukraine’s
economy ministry has slightly increased its forecast for Ukrainian barley exports to 4 million tons from 3.815 million a month earlier.
- Australian
hay exporters are having a tough time getting China to grant import permits, adding to a list of commodities that is caught up in the trade tensions. China consumes about 1 million tons of hay a year, with nearby a third coming from Australia. China overnight
also mentioned they will impose anti-dumping measures on some Australian wine imports from March 28 for five years. - But
the trade tensions between China and Australia have not impacted China wheat buying during the first two months of 2021. China imports of Australian wheat surged 479 percent from the year earlier period.
