Consensus range for the number was coming in at 325,000, the thought being a big jump from the previous -33,00 (revised this month to 18,000) would occur in a post hurricane, back to the norm month. In a rare occurrence my …

Major Mkts- Conditions, Olive set, let’s go.

Ag Outlook
The markets continue to advance on a tech look at the market. In my opinion the soy complex has separated itself from the cash fundamentals. The USDA report is in front of us.
