FC Market Commentary for February 7, 2013 pm

2-7-13 PM Comments

Poor price performance today in all commodities. Funds have liquidated some positions this week, although there was good end-user buying on the way down in corn today. Farmer selling very light.
CZ13 corn closed today at 566, a level not seen since late June of last year, prior to the big summer price rally. Reminder of USDA monthly supply/demand report out tomorrow 11am.  Demand cuts are expected in corn exports and possibly ethanol usage. 

South American crop estimates will be out as well, with larger crop forecast expected especially in Brazil.
