-All eyes will be on the numbers from the USDA today at 11:00am.
-The June 1st stocks report will give us an update of what is “left on hand” and a better idea of the total supply and demand picture.
-The acreage report will get a lot of attention, especially as we start to debate yield potential on the planted acres
-Limits today are 35 cents in corn and $1.00 in soybeans, this is especially important for producers looking for selling opportunities
– Keep an eye on the Chicago Board of Trade for crop sales opportunities as pre-report positioning shifts the market one way or another.
Report related Marketing strategies:
- Pre-report: A producer may consider making a cash or futures only sale prior to the report thus eliminating risk on a portion of the crop
- Post Report: Placing an “Offer” on a new crop sale to capture a post report market reaction to the top side. In many cases post report rallies are short lived.
