US
agricultures futures sank overnight on improving weather after about opening as expected post USDA crop progress report. Positioning ahead of the June 30 reports is starting to ramp up. WTI crude oil was $0.51 lower earlier. News is fairly light. Iran is back
in for meal. Overnight models suggested an increase in rainfall for the July 4-6 period for the ECB, an increase for the Northern Plains 6-8, and an increase for the heart of the Midwest next weekend.
The majority of the US Midwest
will be dry until later this week but milder temperatures should slow condition declines bias the dry areas before rising starting with the southwestern Corn Belt Wed-Fri. The Canadian Prairies will turn drier over the next week. Europe and the western CIS
will be trending wetter this week. Third month Malaysian palm oil futures decreased 44 ringgit to 3675, and cash decreased $15.00 to $830/ton. Offshore values were leading SBO lower by about 297 points this morning and meal $3.10 short ton lower. USDA US crop
ratings declined for corn and soybeans. For corn, they were down 5 points, lower than expected, to lowest in decades for this time of year (1988 lowest). Soybeans were down 3 to 51, the lowest since 1996. The trade looked for US G/E corn and soybean ratings
to be down 3, and no change for SW and WW ratings. Spring wheat declined 1 point and winter wheat was unchanged. See tables after the text for production updates.
We
had a typo in our CP table for the US corn yield. It should be 173.0 bu/ac, same as what we had in the S&D published last week. We are at
50.1 for soybeans.
