This Week in Grain- 11/1 AM Update

November 1, 2016 by John Payne


This Week In Grain (T.W.I.G)Good morning friends!

Corn  352’4  -2’2

Soybeans  1010’2  -1’4

Chi Wheat   413’6  -2’4

KC Wheat 413’6   -2’4,

Cotton  68.61  -.25

 


 

Grain markets are following the crude markets lower we see continued selling in that market. Crude oil is off almost 6% in the last 3 sessions. Little has changed in overseas markets as the USD against popular pairs remain sideways.  I expect those markets to pick up price action as the Presidential election approaches, bleed over into the grain space should be expected.  Today will be slow regarding news flow.  I expect the headlines to be macro driven until USDA next week.  Seasonals all point lower between now and Thanksgiving.

Last night we would have gotten announcements for November bean deliveries, none were announced. The lack of  soybean deliveries is a supportive as we witness weak cash basis levels combined with a complete blowout in front month spreads.The price action in beans makes little sense to me right now. We are seeing buying in the deferred contracts unlike I have seen before. This is supportive for soybeans and bullish for outside markets that compete for space with them. The longer Nov stays at 10.00 the better shot we have for Dec 17 corn to trade +4.00.

We just finished October trading, I mentioned the returns yesterday.  IT was the first time in a while I remember all of the markets we follow having positive performance. Weather may be one of the reasons. The January to October period is the 2nd warmest on record going back to 1895 (THANKS NWS) and clearly the warm temps look to persist throughout the 1st half of November. Limited precipitation will be noted and soil moisture deficits are growing in the southern, specifically the south western part of the growing region.  Be on the lookout for weather problems, especially in wheat. The lack of moisture is positive for cotton at this juncture with harvest progressing.  It sounds like the delay in harvest in Texas we saw last year wont be duplicated.

So far so good with South American weather. Part of me harkens back to 2012 when we seeded quickly like the Brazillians did this year. The trade can fall into a lull that all is well because of quick plantings, but then when heat comes the lack of soil moisture shows itself. We are facing that scenario in N. Brazil, now all we need to see is heat.

About John Payne

John Payne is a Senior Futures & Options Broker and Market Strategist with Daniels Trading. He is the publisher of the grain focused newsletter called This Week in Grain, along with being a co-editor of Andy Daniels’s newsletter, Grain Analyst. He has been working as a series 3 registered broker since 2008.

John graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in economics. After school, John embarked on a 4 year career with the United States Navy. It was during two tours in Iraq and the Persian Gulf where John realized how important commodities are to the survival of society as we know it. It was this understanding that brought about John’s curiosity in commodities. Upon his honorable discharge in 2007, John’s intense interest in the world of commodities inspired him to move to Chicago and pursue his passion in a career in the futures arena.

After a three year position with a managed futures firm specialized in livestock trading, he was given the opportunity to join the team at Daniels Trading. Being in the business and seeing how other IB’s operated, it was the integrity and straightforward approach of the Daniels management team and brokers that attracted him to make the move. Since joining Daniels, John has broadened his fundamental and technical analysis of the markets even further. John has been writing his newsletter This Week in Grain under the Daniels banner since 2011.

Working in high pressure industries like the military and capital markets, John has learned the value of preparation in times of stress. He believes that instilling within his clients the value of a good plan and a cool head for dealing with the day to day swings of commodity markets. He treats every client as a teammate, understanding that his job is to help clients achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

John is a proud supporter of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the National Corn Growers Association. When he is not working, he enjoys athletics of all kinds and spending time with his wife and their two kids.
