Weekly Market Recap
The futures prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat changed significantly for the week ending June 18th, 2021. For the first part of the week, there were reports of rain across the major croplands in the U.S. along with ethanol and biofuel talks. The ethanol and biofuel requirements appeared to have a negative effect on the corn markets because it seemed that there would be a decreased demand for corn with lower ethanol usage. There is also talk about the interest rates rising, which may make speculators take some money out of the markets, causing the prices to fall. Friday, the markets were able to recover some of what was lost with a shift in biofuel talks.
Important Marketing Information
The World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report from the USDA on June 10th, 2021 showed that the U.S. Production, in bushels, was slightly below the analysts’ average, but was within the anticipated range. For the ending stocks, the numbers were relatively close. These numbers will not likely impact the prices greatly, but due to the nature of the markets, we could see some changes from the differences. Both corn and soybeans’ acres planted and average yield stayed the same, but beginning and ending stocks saw changes.
