USDA-MO Dept Ag Market News
Grain and soybean bids climbed higher
as traders position themselves ahead of
tomorrow’s USDA Crop Production report.
Good export sales this week for all com
modities also offered support to bids.
Wheat 1 to 4 cents higher. Com 1 to 4 cents
higher. Sorghum I to 4 cents higher. Soy
beans 3 to 8 cents higher. Wheat bids
gained strength on good overnight export
business and traders anticipation of Fri
day’s Crop Production report from the
USDA. Egypt bought a substantial amount
of soft white wheat overnight and a total
tonnage of over 700,000 this week with
South Korea, Japan and Mexico big buyers.
Com and soybean tads were sharply higher
today as short coverings were taken before
tomorrow's crop production report. Com
exports were very good this week and indi
cations China has bought US beans was an
added boost to bids. However, continued
good crop conditions and cheap feed alter
natives around the world, limited gains.
