Corn spent the start of April grinding lower, posting a fourth consecutive weekly loss by April 10th as the April WASDE reinforced a burdensome supply narrative. The USDA left U.S. ending stocks essentially...[read more] hubs.li/Q04cBV490

Futures finished the week down $21. One notable development was in the COT report showing an increase of 924 industry longs. That puts the long hedge position at roughly 1,600 cars. That represents...[read more] hubs.li/Q04bFLfq0

The fatigue factor. A lumber cycle only has so much life. An upcycle runs about 15 sessions before needs are met. A down cycle tends to last longer. The consumption factors are slow-moving, causing a longer lag until...[read more] hubs.li/Q049JZq10

Corn has remained supported but volatile following the March 31st USDA Prospective Plantings and Quarterly Stocks reports, which reinforced a tighter-than-expected balance sheet narrative. The USDA came out with 95.338 million acres, near the...[read more] hubs.li/Q049B9L-0

A futures reversal summed up last week’s trade. We came into the week on a positive note, with trade becoming more fluid. Monday’s fat-finger debacle ended that quickly, and it took the...[read more] hubs.li/Q048WM9t0

Headwinds?? You would think so, but I came in last week with the same thought only to see a stronger trade. It is really difficult to gauge the effects in the [read more...] hubs.li/Q0461HGx0

Now what? This industry has been in search of some positives for a while now. Just the fact that crude is up almost $5 tonight is enough to chase many fence sitters away. The middle east conflict will not be [read more...] hubs.li/Q045htHx0
