Soy and Corn Market Commentary

John WalshGeneral Commentary, Grains

Commentary: SOY The markets pulled back a bit today. The thought is that the ARG strike will come to an end. The offers to end the strike are fairly reasonable given the current rate structures.

Walsh Trading Daily Insights Commentary February Lean Hogs continued its consolidation within last Tuesday’s breakout candle. It traded down and matched last Tuesday’s low at 65.775 and then bounced to settle at 66.50. This is just below the key level at 66.55. This will key trade for Tuesday in my opinion.

Soy Market Commentary

John WalshGeneral Commentary, Grains

Commentary: The soy continues its rise. The exports have been very strong and are running well ahead of the estimates. In addition the crush will continue to run at a record month to month given the margins. This will drive the pace. The thought is that the Argentinian strike will continue to drive the need for protein from the US. …

Soy Market Commentary

John WalshGeneral Commentary, Grains

Commentary: The soy worked higher today with beans and bean oil both at contract highs. The Argentinian strike has worried the market regarding product availability. The typical strike there does not last long. I say typical, this is obviously an atypical year, so who can predict. The reality of the market, in my opinion, is that the beans are supported …
