DJ Brazil Winter Corn Harvest Concluding, Summer Planting Advancing — Market Talk
1105 ET – Brazilian farmers are finishing up their harvest of winter corn from the 2020-2021 season while planting of the 2021-2022 summer crop is advancing, according to agricultural consultancy Safras & Mercado. Harvesting work in Brazil’s center-south states, which together produce close to 90% of the country’s total corn crop, was 97.9% complete as of Sept. 10, Safras said. Planting of summer corn increased to 16.7% of the estimated area planted with the crop in the entire country, behind the 18.1% finished on the same date a year earlier, but ahead of the 12% five-year average for the date, the consultancy said. The USDA forecast a 2021-2022 total corn crop of 118M metric tons for Brazil, after droughts and frosts in some areas cut production to 86M tons in the 2020-2021 season. ([email protected])

WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat was lower in Chicago and Minneapolis on follow through fund selling but closed higher in Kansas City in response to the USDA production estimates. Trends are now down on the daily and weekly charts and the weekly charts imply that big tops are now in the market. The demand has not been seen here, so ideas of increased ending stocks are around. Dry weather in southern Russia as well as the northern US Great Plains and Canadian Prairies remains a supportive feature in the market although the weather has become old news. Crop size estimates in Russia have been reduced and domestic Russian prices are above world prices. The Russian weather has been good for production in northern and western areas but is still trending dry in southern areas and into Kazakhstan. The weather in China and Europe is wet and there is potential for reduced quality in Europe. Europe is expecting top yields in some areas but less yield in others and parts of eastern Europe and northern Russia are expecting strong yields.
Overnight News: The southern Great Plains should get isolated showers. Temperatures should be above
normal. Northern areas should see isolated showers. Temperatures will be near to above normal. The Canadian Prairies should see isolated showers or dry conditions. Temperatures should average near normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are down with objectives of 652 December. Support is at 677, 657, and 652 December, with resistance at 697, 706, and 714 December. Trends in Kansas City are down with objectives of 670, 659, and 638 December. Support is at 670, 659, and 643 December, with resistance at 697, 715, and 720 December. Trends in Minneapolis are down with objectives of 840 December. Support is at 862, 840, and 830 December, and resistance is at 890, 903, and 915 December.

RICE:
General Comments: Rice closed a little higher yesterday as another tropical system threatened crops in Texas and Louisiana. The system was moving into Texas from Mexico yesterday afternoon. Harvesting continues in Louisiana and Texas and will start to wind down in both states over the next couple of weeks. A delayed harvest is expected in Mississippi and Arkansas but a few producers are starting to harvest now. Yield reports and quality reports have been acceptable to many in Texas and are called good in Louisiana. The harvest pace is expected to be slow due to ongoing showers in both regions and farther into the north. Ideas of average yields are also heard in Arkansas and Mississippi.
Overnight News: The Delta should get isolated showers. Temperatures should be near to below normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed to up with objectives of 1381 November. Support is at 1343, 1335, and 1326 November, with resistance at 1368, 1380, and 1390 November.

CORN AND OATS:
General Comments: Corn was lower in consolidation trading after futures rallied on bearish news last Friday. USDA showed increased harvested area, yield, and production and ending stocks on Friday but most estimates were close to and just above trade ideas. The harvested acreage estimate was below trade ideas. Trends are now mixed on the daily charts but are still down on the weekly charts. Demand was increased to partially offset the increased production and ending stocks were just under 1.5 billion bushels. Most of the elevators along the Mississippi are starting to export again which is good news for nearby demand. The weather remains a feature of the trade but is less important now as the Corn is filling kernels and starting to mature. Ideas are that Brazil Corn production could be less than 85 million tons so reduced production estimates are expected in coming reports. Oats were higher yesterday as the weather remains bad for production even with the crop near or in harvest.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are mixed. Support is at 504, 498, and 494 December, and resistance is at 524, 530, and 543 December. Trends in Oats are mixed. Support is at 498, 486, and 484 December, and resistance is at 516, 518, and 520 December.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans closed a little lower in Soybeans and a little higher in Soybean Meal. Soybean Oil closed mixed. Traders were anticipating good crop progress and condition estimates from USDA yesterday. The destruction of Gulf port facilities along the Mississippi River near New Orleans was still a factor in the trade but the elevators are coming on line and exports have started to resume. The hurricane moved onshore in Louisiana a week ago and did extensive damage to the state, including the grain export elevators. The state also lost electrical posser in all affected areas but power to the export elevators has started to be restored. Another system is in Texas now and is threatening to move into Louisiana with a lot of rain but not so much wind.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Soybeans are mixed. Support is at 1270, 1263, and 1241 November, and resistance is at 1300, 1306, and 1309 November. Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed. Support is at 336.00, 333.00, and 331.00 October, and resistance is at 342.00, 344.00, and 349.00 October. Trends in Soybean Oil down with objectives of 5480 and 5210 October. Support is at 5520, 5480, and 5420 October, with resistance at 5660, 5730, and 5850 October

CANOLA AND PALM OIL
General Comments: Palm Oil closed a little higher last week but well off of the highs of the week on demand concerns. Ideas of strong export demand, especially from India, kept futures higher today. Exports were not strong last month and the trade saw big ending stocks when MPOB released its monthly data last week. Ideas are that Palm Oil got too expensive when compared to the other vegetable oils markets. There are ideas of tight supplies due to labor problems. There are just not enough workers in the fields due to Coronavirus restrictions. Production has also been down to more than offset the export losses so prices have trended higher. Canola closed higher as the harvest is getting ready to start. Damaging weather continues in the Canadian Prairies and northern Great Plains and hot and dry are in the forecast for this week. Production ideas are down due to the extreme weather seen in these areas. It remains generally dry and warm in the Prairies. The Prairies crops are in big trouble now due to previous hot and dry weather. StatsCan released its stocks estimates and Canola stocks were above trade expectations.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are mixed to down with objectives of 816.00 and 804.00 November. Support is at 849.00, 830.00, and 823.00 November, with resistance at 884.00, 902.00, and 905.00 November. Trends in Palm Oil are mixed. Support is at 4150, 4050, and 3930 November, with resistance at 4370, 4480, and 4510 November.

Midwest Weather Forecast: Isolated to scattered showers north. Temperatures should average above normal.
