National
Grain Market
ST. JOSEPH, MO
JANUARY 10, 1996
Wheat bidi finished narrowly mixed
following com and bean wcaknen but
tome support was noted due to export
optimism about China. Com and soybean
bids lost a bit of yesterday's gains in reac
tion to revised forecasts in Argentina call
ing for rain over the next few days and
fund selling on the board
Traders will have to wait until next Tues
day for USDA's Crop Production and
Grain Stocks report due to blizzard condi
tions in Washington. Wheat mixed. Com 3
to 6 cents lower. Sorghum 6 to 10 cents
lower. Soybeans 2 to 6 cents lower. Indica
tions that China had bought 750,000 tonnes
of US wheat Tuesday and that Morocco
was seeking a large quantity of optional
origin wheat offered some strength to
wheat bids. A fair amount of wheat was
sold overnight to Korea which was suppor
tive. However, spillover weakness from
com and bean pits, added tome pressure to
wheat bids. Profit taking pushed com and
soybean bids lower after Tuesday’s sharp
upturn due to forecasts for rainfall in
Afgentina this week after earlier expecta
tions for wanner, drier conditions. Good
export demand offered tome support to
com and bean bids.
