COMMENTARY: The soy has rebounded here again led by the bean oil. As I have mentioned, the global vegoil market, while not on fire, is supported. Especially after the recent pull backs. There is little to say today except that the USDA will release the acreage estimates tomorrow. The acreage will allow us to attempt to draw conclusions regarding the …
Grain Spreads: Big Acres or Hot Air?
Commentary The grain market gets its first look at the much anticipated 11 am planting intentions report and on farm stocks.

Soy Market Commentary
COMMENTARY: The soy had a large bounce back today. The USDA will release acreage this week. This, in my opinion, will be an important report for the market. The bounce today was related to the weather in general. Also, I think the recent break had some short, and the market was evening up. There are concerns over weather reports for …

Commentary There is some noise in the market regarding soy meal potential longer term in Argentina.

Soy Market Commentary
COMMENTARY: The market had a correction Friday. The beans and oil lost while meal gained. There was an unwinding of the spreads as the supreme court sided with small refiners regarding blending.

Soy Market Commentary
COMMENTARY: The soy had a two sided day today. The bean oil continues to rebound. The global vegoil market remains firm. It is my thought, given the bio demand, that bean oil will remain supported into late July. The meal market on the other hand remains a bit weak. This is consistent through the global market place. There are some …
