5/11/15 @ 10:03am
Dow -31.49
S&P -3.60
Nasdaq -3.51

U.S. stocks are down some today, pausing one session after the Dow posted its biggest one-day gain in more than three months. The modest moves followed a surge in stocks on Friday, after the government’s employment report for April indicated the economy was pulling out of its first-quarter slump.  Employers added 223,000 jobs in April.

 

Grain Market

5/11/15 @ 10:03am
Corn -1 ½ @ $3.61 ½
Beans Even @ $9.76

Reports: EXPORT INSPECTIONS @ 10 AM, CROP PROGRESS @ 3 PM; MAY USDA S&D REPORT TOMORROW @ 11 AM

 

Corn: Range-bound grain markets on Friday and again overnight, with the trade anticipating market-moving numbers today after crop progress report with many thinking 70-75% corn planted, but then attention shifts towards tomorrows USDA “Supply & Demand” report.  Where the bears are anticipating a bump in new crop ending stocks through increased yield expectations and demand reduction.

 

Soybeans: The Chinese government is again boosting economic stimulus by further reducing interest rates which is positive for beans.  Keeping on track, with the crop progress report today, many traders are thinking today’s crop progress data will show U.S producers 25-30% planted and well ahead of their historical pace.
