Good morning!

Our markets don’t open until 9:30am today (due to yesterday’s holiday) and they are called higher.  The fiscal cliff was averted which will shield millions of middle-class taxpayers from the tax increases that were set to take place this month.  The counter to that is that on the households earning more than $450k/year – those tax rates will increase.  This is the first time in more than 20 years that a broad tax increase has been approved with GOP support.

So, the outside markets are a friendly input this morning as the politicians found it un-wise to play chicken with the American people for any longer.  If those gains hold on till 9:30 our corn and soybeans markets should open higher.

Opening calls:
Corn 3 to 5 cents higher
Soybeans 7 to 15 cents higher
