Sean LuskGeneral Commentary

Commentary One scenario I could see playing out here in the next few weeks could be that funds wash their hands of a portion of their bullish bets after the next two USDA reports only to rebuy the market heading into planting and growing season.

Grain Spreads: Two Reports

Sean LuskGeneral Commentary

Commentary: In my opinion the bean market is setting up ahead of the quarterly stocks and planting intentions report next Wednesday (3/31) as they did pre WASDE in early February and March.

Soy and Corn Market Commentary

walshtradingGeneral Commentary, Grains
