Good morning!

Our markets are higher this morning, led by the soybean futures.  Soybeans are gaining a little strength on rumors that China has bought an additional two cargoes of U.S. soybeans off the PNW.  Once again, with the tight balance sheet on U.S. soybeans – there isn’t much room for additional demand like this.  Brazilian ports are still congested, with wait times now up to around two months.  Chinese crush margins are large – meaning they may be able afford to pay for additional (higher priced) U.S. beans down the road. 

The outside markets are a little friendly this morning, with the $US failing to take out its recent highs – and it is now trading lower.  This is lending support to most commodities today.

Currently
Corn is 2 to 4 cents higher
Soybeans are 10 to 13 cents higher
