The Soy continues its rally based on weather. The general belief now is that south America is under a La Nina scenario, which if true, could bring dryness to much of Argentina through the spring. some of this is speculation but the chance is there and has the market thinking. It is estimated funds bought beans as much as 8,000 …

The markets are rallying led by meal and beans. The meal market is held up on good Chinese demand, and a thought that SA weather presents risk. I don’t want to write to much about this. The Chinese demand is nice and is legit as the demand for animal feed is positive. But needed for global demand. The SA production …

The beans were pushed higher with fund buying today. The weather outlook in Argentina calls for a drier scenario. As mentioned that’s all that the market needs to see. The funds have made a buy play numerous times during this time period and been right as the carry has declined.  In addition the meal has been the leader with a …

The oil share lost again today and remains in a lower end of a range.  Weather is the key word today and the primary focus barr anything. this makes little sense to me considering the global growth in the carry , but viewed as a price opportunity I suppose.

The market started higher today. Then sold off quietly throughout the day. The only question that needs to be answered regarding the soy complex is related to South American weather. A timely rain event in Arg, and Brazil and the crops are off to fantastic starts. A bit of dryness and the drought fantasies will come out. This could fuel a …

Not much to say today with the market. Two sided trade. The oilshare took a healthy beating here. The market is focused on the outside vegoils, and the thought of possible dryness in argentina which would effect the meal. This in my opinion is so far fetched. The reality is that the world is awash with beans. The exports are …
