Harvesting Pressure, Planting Support
2007-09-25 23:39:00 I did catch some of the market action today and it seemed to me that wheat was pulling up corn and soybeans for most of the day. In the end though, with wheat giving up some of its earlier gains towards the end of the session, the short-term factors weighed heavily on soybeans with the ... More About: Support , Planting
Unnoticeably Quiet
2007-09-25 00:13:00 I wasn’t keeping an eye on the market at all today. I just about caught the pre-opening reports but other than that I didn’t see much.

Now into it’s tenth successive positive close, soybeans continued to make fresh three year highs, reaching 996′4 early in the session. The USDA’s weekly exports figure came in comfortably at the higher end of expectations at ... More About: Pain , Ease
Expected Consolidation, Unexpectedly Postive
More articles from this author:2007-09-19 23:21:00 Soybeans finished with another gain for a ninth session. I found that surprising, expecting a consolidation more on the negative side than on the positive side. All the more so with wheat finishing down 24.1 for the day, having earlier reached limit down. From the various and varied opinions of analysts, it appears that the ... More About: Posti , Dati , Soli 1, 2 |
