FC Market Commentary for November 21, 2012


Good morning!

The markets started out choppy last night – kicking off the session lower on EU debt issues before crude oil led us higher, thanks to continued conflict in the Middle East.  This raised both corn and soybeans off their overnight lows.  The EU weakness was tied to Greece leaders failing (again) to reach a debt agreement which delays the release of aid $$.  They will pick the conversation up again on Monday.

Today should be a quiet day on thin volume as holiday mode officially set in.  There are virtually no fundamental news stories to discuss.  We did get a little bit of economic data out of China showing their crude oil imports for October were up almost 15% compared to last year.  The bulls will read this as a sign the Chinese economy is improving which long term is friendly to commodities. 

Currently
Corn is 1 to 2 cents higher
Soybeans are 4 to 6 cents higher

Remember – no markets tomorrow, trade resumes at 9:30am Friday.

Have a great day!
