GENERAL EQUITIES – The stocks are rebounding today. This is to be expected after weakness. Again the markets are in a Bear in my opinion. This will continue to be the case as outside influences dominate. The cost of capital is climbing slowly but surely. The cost of goods CPI is going to hurt the consumer. This will have a …

GENERAL GENERAL A few general thoughts that reflect my opinions.  EQUITIES – The market is lower today, but bouncing off the recent lows. It is my opinion as I sit here today that nothing fundamentally has changed for the positive. To the contrary, rates are just starting up. The housing market is slowing. And, the energy prices, at the very least, …

Grain Spreads: July 2022 Soybeans

Sean LuskGeneral Commentary

It is my belief they could trade a lot higher than 18.00, but I’m not sure anybody knows what we are seeing here. However, if July soybeans trades back underneath $17.00, we could see a deeper correction.  The rally higher …

This comes as corn and wheat have been pressured on rumors of wheat emerging all of a sudden from Eastern Europe, while China has agreed with Brazil to source more corn moving forward. I included a chart of July 22/Nov 22 beans here. …
