traded higher from the start on light technical buying, later propelled by sharply higher soybeans and a turnaround in wheat futures.
-
Corn
futures started hitting intraday highs about an hour before the close, and rallied again into the close.
-
September
corn finished 8.0 cents higher at $3.6025. Funds bought 16,000 contracts.
-
Regarding
China, they do not import a large amount of corn from the US, so focus today was on soybeans.
-
However,
US pork producers are likely going to take a financial hit from Chinese import tariffs, and a harder hit if Mexico adds them.

USDA
corn export sales for 2017-18 of 440,800 tons were on the lower end of expectations. New-crop sales were 232,100 tons, well off from last week but above a year ago. New-crop commitments are running well about the previous year, above its 10-year average, but
below the recent high for this time of year for the 2016-17 season.
·
China sold 814,003 tons of corn out of state reserves, at an average price of 1423 yuan per ton ($213.97/ton), 21 percent of the corn offered. Yesterday China sold 1.088 million tons of corn out of state reserves,
at an average price of 1529 yuan per ton ($230.47/ton), 27 percent of the corn offered.

-
Sorghum:

7/6/18.
September corn may trade in a large $3.60-$4.10 range. December corn is seen in a $3.30-4.50 range. If the US good/excellent US corn condition hold over through July, look for December corn to possibly test the $3.00 level.
·
History was made. The largest piece of bearish news in my career came to light today…and soybeans closed higher.
·
Friday marked day one of the US import tariffs tiff. $34 billion were implemented on both sides. CBOT soybeans briefly hit fresh contract lows overnight. Yet soybeans traded roughly 40 cents higher during
the trading session after a soft opening. About 10 of those cents came near the end of the trading session.
·
US soybeans
ended 38.25-39.00 cents higher, August meal $11.70 higher and August soybean oil 45 higher. Funds bought an estimated net 17,000 soybean contracts, bought 6,000 meal and bought 3,000 soybean oil.
·
There was no significant weakness in soybean prices on Friday after it became official China slapped on a 25 percent import tariff on US soybeans. That signaled the market had already worked in trade tariffs
before July 6, and with soybeans trading it contract lows, the timing may have been perceived as perfect for longs to get back into action, especially with no weather premium built in. The low US prices also attracted other major importer buying interest.
·
Some traders labeled today’s action as a classic “sell the rumor and buy the fact.” We think there were other moving parts to the strength in CBOT soybean futures.
·
First, the GS commodity report earlier this week had some commodity experts already excited to get back into agriculture markets, so the rally today may have triggered buying by large funds.
·
Second, US soybean old-crop export sales were positive. Traders didn’t see as many cancellations as they were looking for, which may have resulted in negative export sales, and new-crop US sales continue to
grow.
·
Traders were looking for large soybean cancellations by China. At least 366,000 for China were reduced this week. The remainder of old-crop soybeans on the books will likely be switched or cancelled. Look
for a large carryover to new-crop from the current year.
·
Just over 293 million bushels of US new-crop soybeans have been committed (2018-19 shipment period), about in line with a 10-year average for this time of year and well above last year. China makes up for
17 percent of the new-crop total (known + unknown – optional origin) and “unknown” sales make up for 49 percent. This tells me that Chinese importers were, or may still be, optimistic US soybeans will set sail during the 2018-19 marketing year.
·
For long traders, we like adding positions to soybeans and products at these levels. Or consider long soybeans/short corn to limit risk. The USDA export sales report showed net increases for the week ending
June 28, an indication that without China, US soybeans are attractive to alternative destinations.
·
China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs published a document on exploring ways to reduce the use of soybean meal in animal feed. Details are lacking but facto remains, if Brazil is unable to supply
soybeans for export during the late October through early January period, China will need to figure out a way to stretch supplies during this period, or take soybeans from the US. The real problems from this tariff will come around in late 2018, so not knowing
how long the tariff will last, will leave the trade guessing upcoming global trade flows.
·
Reuters shows Brazil soybeans at a $1.60/bu premium over US but prices need to widen to $2.00/bu in order to attract China to buy US soybeans. This should attract buying interest from several importers. Feedback
is always welcome.
·
For those who are following, the latest US ship to set sail from the US to arrive in China just before the 25-percent tariff Kicked in, missed the deadline by about 5 hours. Peak Pegasus’s journey on Friday
gained more attention on a social media site (Sina Weibo) than the World Cup.

down 79,601 MT for week ending June 4th. The correct destination is Germany and is included in this week’s report. -
Soybean
Cake and Meal: Net sales of 132,800 MT for 2017/2018 were down 9 percent from the previous week, but up 14 percent from the prior 4-week average. Increases were reported for the Philippines (31,600 MT), Ecuador (30,800 MT), Portugal (27,500 MT, including

Soybean
Oil: Net sales of 36,600 MT for 2017/2018 were up 20 percent from the previous week and up noticeably from the prior 4-week average. Increases were primarily for South Korea (13,000 MT), unknown destinations (12,300 MT), Venezuela (5,000 MT), Guatemala (3,000
MT), and Mexico (1,400 MT). For 2018/2019, net sales of 3,800 MT were reported for Mexico. Exports of 34,200 MT were up noticeably from the previous week and up 48 percent from the prior 4-week average. The primary destinations were South Korea (15,300
MT), Guatemala (6,600 MT), the Dominican Republic (4,200 MT), Jamaica (3,500 MT), and Colombia (2,500 MT). Export Adjustment: Accumulated exports of soybean oil to Colombia were adjusted down 3,000 MT for week ending May 24th. This export was reported in
error.
For
long traders, we like adding positions to soybeans and products at these levels. Or consider long soybeans/short corn to limit risk. The USDA export sales report showed net increases for the week ending June 28, an indication that without China, US soybeans
are attractive to alternative destinations.

August soybeans are seen in a $8.50-$9.00 range; November $8.00-$10.00 range.
·
August soybean meal $310-360 range; December $280-$400 range.
·
August soybean oil 28.00-30.00 range; December 27.00-30.50 range.
·
US wheat futures attempted to trade the day lower but selling dried. Chicago September broke above a $5.0975 resistance level. KC September traded at a two-week higher and September MN ended higher for the
third consecutive day, after closing lower for the previous seven consecutive sessions. Wheat prices appear to be staging a short and medium-term rebound, largely derived from smaller production prospects for the EU, Black Sea region and Australia. Larger
US all-wheat production estimates and Favorable weather in Argentina for wheat seedings could limit gains going forward. Traders should monitor US exports over the next few weeks, especially for higher protein type wheat.
·
Funds today bought an estimated net 5,000 SRW wheat contracts.
·
USDA export sales for all-wheat of 440,100 tons were not bad for the second week in a row. Higher quality wheat moving with potential for more as world prices rally. 133,100 tons was booked for White, 136,600
tons for HRW, and 83,600 tons for HRS.
·
French wheat and barley conditions declined from the previous week. Soft wheat conditions for the combined good/excellent categories were reported at 73 percent as of July 1, down one point from the previous
week. Conditions are much higher than 2016 when unfavorable weather cut high protein supplies. Winter barley conditions declined 3 points to 69 percent and spring barley was down 1 point to 76 percent. Corn ratings were unchanged at 74 percent.
