Updated Yield Estimates 

StoneX, one of the FCM's we do business with, released their updated yield estimates for corn and soybeans.  They have their corn yield at 174.5 bushels per acre, up from 173.9 bushels last month.  That brings their production estimate from 14.056 billion bushels to 14.109.  Their soybean yield is estimated to be at 50.9 bushels per acre, down from 51.3 bushels in last month's survey.  This drops their production estimate from 4.442 to 4.413 billion bushels.

Corn:  Net sales of 372,200 MT for 2022/2023 

Soybeans:  Net sales of 830,200 MT for 2022/2023

A Look at the Outside Markets

Equity markets surged on the Federal Reserves prepared statement yesterday but rolled over hard during the press conference where Fed Chair Jerome Powell made it clear that there was no pivot or pause.  That weakness has rolled over into additional pressure in the overnight and early morning trade.  The U.S. Dollar is at trading back near 113.  We were sub 110 just about a week ago.

Corn

December corn futures are back to testing yesterday's low and the 50-day moving average, both of those come in from 680-680 1/2.  There is additional support near the mid 670's, which represents the mid-October lows.  The market is still rangebound but is starting to feel like it's overdue for a bigger directional move.

Coming Soon:  Seasonal Trend Alert for March Corn that starts on November 16th.  Contact us for more information.

Soybeans

Soybeans were lower to start yesterday's session but were able to claw back losses to finish the session in positive territory, marking the highest close since September 22nd.  Our resistance pocket remains intact from 1454 1/4-1462 1/4.  If the market can chew through this pocket, we could see technical buying spark another move higher, with little technical resistance until you get near the technically and psychologically significant $15.00 market.

Wheat

December Chicago wheat futures have retreated back to last week's levels which makes sense with the headlines offsetting each other.  We've kept our bias at Neutral and noted in previous reports that if you don't need to trade wheat, then you really don't need to.  That may come across as boring and that's ok, but we prefer to use the term prudent.

Upcoming Seasonal Trend: Bearish March Chicago Wheat from November 4th to November 19th.  This has played out for 13 of the last 15 years.
