Commerce Response
Jason Ward, Northstar Commodity managing director, says that the numbers within the report have been what was anticipated.
“For soybean stocks, the USDA tightened them by 15 million bushels by rising soybean crush, whereas leaving exports unchanged. Corn ending stocks remained flat and wheat a pleasant downward shock of 15 million bushels.
Ward added, “No change to Brazil manufacturing, which I feel is unsuitable. However when the info was taken there was rain within the forecast for Brazil, and everybody agrees that December and January rains can nonetheless assist that crop. USDA acknowledged the irregularities in moisture, in Argentina, by reducing manufacturing there.”
These would be the highest manufacturing numbers for Brazil from each CONAB and from USDA, but nobody on the bottom in Brazil has numbers this excessive, Ward says. “Rainfall pattern needs to improve to realize these figures, and it just doesn’t look great for Argentina, and we are now seeing a drier trend for Brazil over the next seven to 10 days.”
Jason Roose, U.S. Commodities, says that the December 2020 WASDE Crop Report was thought of impartial to adverse.
“The ending stocks were left unchanged on corn from last month and soybean stocks were lowed 15 mln with an increase in domestic crush and not an increase in exports, which was considered a surprise by trade estimates. Feed and ethanol demand all were left unchanged on corn also. All eyes will be focused on the weather in South America, U.S. dollar, and the fund positioning into the end of the year,” Roose says.
Sal Gilbertie, Teucrium Buying and selling, says that the markets have been deflated a bit by at the moment’s report.
“The numbers were roughly in line with expectations but showed slightly higher corn and soybean stocks than expected. Not much food for the bulls here, but there is little that can be construed as bearish in this report. Grains are still tight and carryout numbers are getting uncomfortably low for soybeans. January’s WASDE will undoubtedly be more exciting,” Gilbertie says.
