FC Market Commentary for February 4, 2013

AM Comments 02/04/13

Good morning!

The markets started off Sunday night higher – and stayed that way thanks to dry weather in Argentina. The weekend produced only limited rains in Argentina with a dry week projected for this week along with warmer temps – this is of course supportive to prices.  The next chances for rain return early next week but they are expected to be light.  Meanwhile the US 6-10 day weather maps (shown below) look slightly bearish with some of the driest areas in the country projected to receive rain.

The USDA releases their Feb S&D report this Friday, this will concentrate only on old crop numbers.  The new crop conversation from the USDA will kick off at the end of March with planting intentions.

Currently
Corn is steady to up 2c
Soybeans are up 12 to 14 cents

Have a great day!
