Good morning Farmer Family …
US farm markets made moderate inroads on Friday.
Corn and soybeans were, each one firmer by 0.87% and 0.77% respectively.
Meal prices closed 0.73% higher.
Soybean oil prices were 0.2% stronger.
The wheat complex also closed higher with Chicago SRW up 1.8%.
Kansas City HRW closed up by 1.01%.
Minneapolis spring wheat ended the day 1.03% higher.
For the week corn prices rallied by 2.03%.
Soybeans got help from a late week rally.
However, January was still down by 0.07% at the week’s close, due Monday and Thursday weakness.
Meal was again the weakness of the complex, with nearby Jan down 1.66%.
Bean oil had a nice 4.06% rally on the Jan contract and held up the complex.
The wheat complex rose again this week.
Indeed, all three classes moved higher with Kansas City the leader this week after a 3.64% rally from Friday to Friday.
Chicago was right behind, with 2.99% gains on the week.
Minneapolis spring wheat joined the bull party, with a 2.45% jump since prior Friday.
Notabily, corn prices closed the week $0.132 higher at $6.66/bu.
Soybean prices finished $0.010 weaker at 14.79/bu.
Soymeal fell $7.7/smt, closing at $455.3 smt.
Soy oil rose $2.570, to close at $65.93.
CBOT soft red winter (SRW) prices gained $0.225 for the week to close at $7.76/bu.
KCBT hard red winter (HRW) prices rose $0.308, ending at $8.75/bu.
MGE hard red spring (HRS) prices were $0.223 higher to close at $9.32/bu.
A shift to slightly wetter forecasts for Argentina pressured corn and soybean markets early in the week.
However, it was leaning drier as the week moved on.
On Wednesday, EIA reported US ethanol production dropping 32,000 barrels per day to 1.029 million bpd during the week of December 16.
Stocks backed off during the week by 342,000 barrels, to 24.067 million barrels.
That was the first reduction in 5 weeks.
Thursday’s Export Sales report tallied old crop corn bookings at 636,811 MT for the week that ended on 12/15, a 33.6% reduction from the previous week.
Total export commitments (shipped and unshipped sales) are now at 20.64 MMT, which is down 48% vs. a year ago.
That total is just 39% of the full year USDA projection, which lags the 5-year average pace of 56%.
If this pace of buying continues, the USDA projection may need to get smaller.
As for soybean, Thursday’s report showed soybean bookings dropping hard from the previous week to 736,023 MT.
That was still 40.5% above the same week last year.
Total soybean export commitments are now 42.473 MMT, 4% larger than last year.
That is also 76% of the projected USDA total, vs. the 71% average pace for this week.
As for wheat, the USDA reported export bookings slipping 28.73% on the week to 334,207 MT in the week that ended on December 15th.
That took total export commitments of all wheat and wheat products to 14.526 MMT.
Compared to the USDA projection for 22/23 exports, it is 67% of the forecast.
Normally, exporters would be at 77% of that number.
However, on Friday corn and soybean were spurred by export optimism.
Private exporters, indeed, reported on Friday to the USDA having sold 124,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to unknown destinations during the 2022/2023 marketing year and 150,000 metric tons of corn for delivery to Mexico during the 2022/2023 marketing year.
Meantime, recent inclement weather in the USA has wreaked havoc across a large swath of the country.
Thus, wheat prices earned healthy gains on lingering concerns that the latest cold snap in the Midwest and Plains will lead to some winterkill issues for the 2022/23 winter wheat crop.
In this context, corn basis bids were steady to firm on Friday after improving 2 to 15 cents across four Midwestern locations.
Soybean basis bids were unchanged across the central U.S..
As for wheat, Gulf HRW and SRW basis held steady, while PNW HRS increased slightly, supported by the serve winter weather and cold temperatures.
As the winter weather persists rail performance will continue to deteriorate, with some traders saying trains are up to a week delayed in some locations with no resolution in sight until after temperatures warm after Christmas.
Recent export demand also lent support to HRS basis and SW prices out of the PNW.
PNW HRW softened slightly as demand remains quiet.
As a results, as at December 22, 2022, FOB prices saw US wheat No 2 Hard Red Winter (HRW) valued at $388/mt (up $2/mt from last week).
US wheat No 2 Soft Red Winter (SRW) was valued at $337/mt (unchanged from last week).
Northern Durum offers from the Great Lakes for January 2023 delivery, were at $11.70/bu, ($430.00/MT), unchanged from past week.
As for corn, US corn 3YC (Gulf) was at $313/mt (up $3/mt from last week).
As for soybean, US soybean 2Y (Gulf) quoted at $600/mt (down $2 from last week).
USDA’s weekly ethanol report showed ethanol prices were within 5 cents of UNCH last week from $1.87 to $2.40/gal regionally.
Corn oil prices were also within 5 points of UNCH from 65 to 70 cents of UNCH.
DDGS were mostly higher with $5 to $25/ton increases from $220 to $318/ton regionally.
DDGS prices to the Export Point averaged between $260 to $365/ton, up from prior week.
USDA’s B100 price was 8 cents/gal weaker through the week to $5.85 in MN.
After the session close, CFTC’s weekly CoT report showed managed money closed out 12.2k longs for a 13.3k contract lighter net long as of the 12/20 settle.

The specs have been net short spring wheat since 11/22.
In energy markets, oil prices settled about $3 per barrel higher on Friday for a second straight week of gains after Moscow said it could cut crude output in response to the G7 price cap on Russian exports.
Brent crude settled at $83.92, up by $2.94 or 3.6%, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude settled at $79.56 a barrel, up $2.07, or 2.7%.

Russia may cut oil output by 5% to 7% in early 2023 as it responds to price caps, the RIA news agency cited Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak as saying on Friday.
Russia’s Baltic oil exports could fall by 20% in December from the previous month after the European Union and G7 nations imposed sanctions and a price cap on Russian crude from Dec. 5, according to analysts calculations.
Meantime, both crude oil demand and output could slump over the next few days due to shut-ins from a massive winter storm that cascaded across a broad swath of the United States.
Several of the largest U.S. refineries shut down due to the extreme cold while output shut in Texas and North Dakota.
U.S. gasoline and ultra-low-sulfur diesel futures both rose more than 5% on anticipated refining production cuts and a surge in heating oil demand.
Swiss bank UBS expects prices could move back above $100 per barrel next year on Russian output cuts and easing of COVID-related restrictions in China, analyst Giovanni Staunovo said.
“The road for higher prices will however stay bumpy,” he said.

The main index plunged 13.9% this quarter and 31.7% for the year, the most since 2015, on worries about the impact of fresh covid-19 outbreaks in China on demand.
The Baltic Exchange will not publish data for the main index from December 26th until January 2nd, 2023.
In equity markets, a choppy day on Wall Street ended with broad gains for stocks Friday, though most of the major indexes wound up with their third weekly loss in a row.

The report suggested that demand may be stabilizing after the 30-year mortgage rate has eased sharply by -88 bp to 6.20% from the late-October 20-year high of 7.08%.
That reduce the risk of a recession but also raise the threat of higher interest rates from the FED.
The US government reported Friday that a key measure of inflation is continuing to slow, though it’s still far higher than anyone wants to see.
Notabily, The Nov U.S. PCE deflator, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, eased to +0.1% m/m and +5.5% y/y from Oct’s revised +0.4% m/m and +6.1% y/y and was in line with market expectations.

The final-Dec figure of 59.7 is only 9.7 points above the 42-year low of 50.0 posted earlier this year in June.
In currency trading, the dollar fluctuated but remained essentially unchanged against a basket of world currencies after two days of gains as market participants weighed the probability of interest rates rising further and staying there longer than many might have hoped.
Notabily, the dollar index fell 0.11%, with the euro up 0.22% toat $1.0616.

Main News of the Week
USA –
Markets reacted this week to some concern about how widespread severe cold and wind across the US Plains states and Midwest may affect U.S. winter wheat.
In the North, temperatures could reach 40 degrees F below normal with lifethreatening wind chills as low as 50 degrees below zero F (-46 degrees C).
Sub-zero to single-digit F temperatures are likely across the central Plains, Midwest, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Midsouth.
However, the major winter storm this week brought heavy snow to much of the High Plains that helped improve drought conditions across the Dakotas, Nebraska, northeast Colorado, and Montana.
Despite expansive improvements in other areas, drought persists in western Kansas, central and western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle.
As of Dec. 1, there were 73.1 million hogs and pigs on U.S. farms, down 2% from December 2021 and down 1% from Sept. 1, 2022, according to the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report published today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
Of the 73.1 million hogs and pigs, 67.0 million were market hogs, while 6.15 million were kept for breeding.
Between September 2022 and November 2022, 33.7 million pigs were weaned on U.S. farms, down 1% from the same time period one year earlier.
From September 2022 through November 2022, U.S. hog and pig producers weaned an average of 11.22 pigs per litter.
U.S. hog producers intend to have 2.95 million sows farrow between December 2022 and February 2023, and 2.98 million sows farrow between March and May 2023.
Iowa hog producers accounted for the largest inventory among the states, at 23.6 million head.
Minnesota had the second largest inventory at 8.60 million head.
North Carolina was third with 8.20 million head.
South America –
Brazilian farmers are hoping for bumper soybean and corn crops for the 2022/23 season.
Brazil is set to produce a record soybean crop in 2023 because of larger acreage and more favorable weather, which may pull down prices and port differentials as Chinese demand remains uncertain.
Notabily, the soybean crop, which begins harvesting more vigorously in January, may reach 153.5mn t in the 2022-23 season, according to national supply company Conab.
Weather was more favorable for crops and the planted area increased to 43.4mn hectares (ha) from 41.5mn ha in the 2021-22 crop.
Corn plantings should reach 22.33 mn hectares (ha), for a total production of 125.73 MMT.
But this projection may change in the coming weeks if there is a lack of rain in southern Brazil and yield losses occur, as is happening in Argentina.
Meantime, total soybean exports may rise to 90mn t next year, from 78mn t in 2022, with greater participation of European and South Korean buyers, as lower premiums will make the Brazilian product more competitive in those markets.
“The passage of a storm front will produce rain across most of the agricultural area, bringing effective relief for the first time this season,” the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange said in its weekly weather report, forecasting between 50 and 75 millimeters in rainfall.
It added that the rains would allow farmers to finish sowing 200,000 hectares of soybeans in the fertile Pampas plains.
Farmers have so far planted 60.6% of a planned 16.7 million hectares, putting them 12.6 percentage points behind their progress this time last year due to the dry soil, it said.
Corn planting for the 2022/23 cycle has meanwhile fallen 8.4 percentage points behind last year’s level, with 51.8% of an estimated 7.3 million hectares sown.
The country’s estimated 12.4 million tonne wheat harvest is meanwhile 78.3% complete, it added.
EU –
The European Commission trimmed its estimates for 2022/23 EU corn production to 52.1 Mt from 53.3 Mt estimated last month after suffering through an abundance of hot, dry weather.
That makes this year’s crop the smallest in more than a decade, and its sharply below initial estimates, made back in June.
The Commission, has also slightly lowered its estimates for 2022/23 EU soft wheat production to 126.4 Mt.
In the meantime, the group said its projection for EU soft wheat exports this marketing year were steady, at 34 MMT.
Only rapeseed production has been revised upwards, to 19.6 Mt compared to 19.4 Mt estimated last month.
Black Sea basin –
Grain shipments from Ukraine’s Danube River ports reached record highs in 2022 at 6.1 MMT and overall sales increased by 294% to 14.5 MMT.
After the war started the ports of Izmail, Reni and Ust-Dunaisk provide the only export channel for Ukrainian grain until the Black Sea corridor agreement.
As Russia’s military offensive continues targeting energy infrastructure in Ukraine, the Ukrainian government has authorized
the agriculture ministry to identify critical food processing and export infrastructure to receive priority energy supplies.
The Ukrainian grain trader’s union UGA asked the government to ensure supplies of electricity to grain silos to reduce potential
damage.
Iraq accepted the first batch of Russian wheat 26.3 KMT (private contract).
Vessel was unloaded on Dec 19.
China –
Chinese customs data showed the PRC brought in 7.35 MMT of soybeans during November.
That was down 14% from Nov ’21, with U.S. origin down by 7%.
The U.S. sourced 46% of their total in November, compared to 35% from Brazil and a 42.5% share of last year’s 8.547 MMT total.
India –
Officials in India are estimating that the country’s wheat production will climb to 112 MMT, due to favorable weather conditions and increased plantings.
India is one of the world’s top wheat producers, but the vast majority of that supply is consumed domestically rather than entering the export market.
India also announced it will spend the equivalent of $24.2 billion USD to provide food grains at no cost for more than 800 million poor citizens.
The program is a conglomeration of two prior programs that provided pandemic relief in the form of free or subsidized food grain.
Notabily, government sources in India announced that the state will offer 2.0 to 3.0 MMT of wheat from reserves to flour millers and biscuit makers to cool domestic prices.
As market prices increased state wheat purchases for the country’s food welfare program decreased 53% to 18.9 MMT.
Watching next week’s market
As a reminder, the market will be closed on Monday in observance of Christmas holiday.
Markets will reopen on Tuesday, Dec 27.
Thus, export inspections will be delayed until Tuesday.
On Thursday, the EIA will release their weekly ethanol production and stocks report.
The weekly Export Sales report will be delayed until Friday.
Friday is also first notice day for January soybean futures, as well as the last trading day for December live cattle futures.
That’s all, thank you.
We wish you a good day and …
