KCG FUTURES AM GRAIN FUTURES COMMENTS

KCG FUTURES   AM GRAIN FUTURES COMMENTS   Wednesday   10.09.13

 

Grain futures traded both sides of unchanged in overnight trade with beans and wheat mostly lower and corn unchanged to a tad firmer.  Now that the am session is trading beans and wheat are losing ground while corn follows lower.  The dramatic recent rally in the wheat market seems to have lost steam the last couple of days, and appears to be searching for additional support and possibly the low end of trading range.  Clear weather in the US Midwest until Sunday is ramping up harvest and winter wheat planting.  The next storm system is expected Sunday-Tuesday with differing opinions about how much harvest interruption this will cause.  Additionally, drier and warmer weather in Russian and the Ukraine is expected to also improve wheat planting and row crop harvesting.

The macro markets are responding to the nomination of Janet Yellen to Chair the Fed and also to much conversation that US debt resolution issue is adding to forces that are slowing world growth.
