"The world will harvest the greatest soybean crop in history, and the record takes place at the same time in the main soybean producers’ and exporters’ countries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed that U.S. soybean farmers produced a record soybean record crop in 2009 (3.361 billion bushels), Brazil (2.388 billion bushels) and Argentina (1.947 billion bushels)."

02.08.10	DTN Closing Grain Comments 02/08 14:36 DTN Closing Grain Comments 02/08 14:36 February 08, 2010 DTN Closing Grain Comments 02/08 14:36 Short-Covering Rally Grains finished higher on noncommercial short-covering ahead of Tuesday's USDA Supply and Demand report and light outside market support. By John Sanow DTN Analyst General Comments: Soybeans closed 16 cents higher in the March and 15 3/4 cents higher in the May. Corn closed 4 1/2 cents higher in the March and 4 1/2 cents higher in the May. Wheat closed 10 3/4 cents higher in the March Chicago, 11 cents higher in the March Kansas City, and 9 1/4 cents higher in the March Minneapolis. The U.S. dollar index is .126 lower. April gold is $12.20 higher while April silver is $.255 higher and April copper is $4.85 higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 60 points. March crude oil is $.60 higher.

02.08.10	DTN Midday Grain Comments 02/08 11:55 DTN Midday Grain Comments 02/08 11:55 February 08, 2010 DTN Midday Grain Comments 02/08 11:55 All Grains Higher at Midday Grain trade is higher at midday with a flat to negative tone following solid early strength. By David Fiala DTN Contributing Analyst Market Summary The U.S. stock market indices are higher with the Dow futures up 14. The interest rate products are lower. The dollar index is 25 lower. Energies are higher with crude up $0.50. Cattle are higher and hogs are sharply higher. Precious metals are higher with gold up $15. GENERAL COMMENTS CORN Corn trade is 5 higher at midday after trading over a dime higher in early trade. The outside markets are positive and we are seeing some profit-taking by market shorts ahead of the USDA Monthly Supply and Demand Estimates due out on Tuesday morning. The weekly export inspections were low at 27.1 million bushels, which did not promote the higher trade. Expect active mixed trade, likely in positive territory the rest of the day with position-squaring. The average trade guess heading into the USDA report Tuesday morning is for the new carryover number to be at 1.748 billion bushels versus the 1.764-billion-bushel number in January. The range of expectations is 1.602-1.815 bb. The market is looking for exports to be lower but the ethanol usage should increase to give us the lightly lower carryover number. SOYBEANS Soybean trade is firm at midday with a flat tone, March beans are up 20, November is up 11. Meal is up $2 to $4 and bean oil is up more than 100 points. The recent sell-off has left the charts oversold so profit-taking by market shorts ahead of the report could continue into the afternoon. The weekly export inspections were good at 39.57 million bushels which supports our midday market. The trade is expecting a lower carryover number from the USDA tomorrow morning, due to our good exports and crush. The average trade guess for the new USDA carryover is at 219 million bushels, versus 245 mb on the January report. The range of guesses is 170-245 million. But increases in Brazilian and Argentine production may still give us a higher global carryover. On the chart, beans did find psychological support at the $9 area last week, so upside is fairly wide open if a greater number of shorts look to exit today. The March 20-day is up at $9.46, which is the closest notable resistance. WHEAT Wheat trade is 7 to 10 higher at midday due to spillover support from the row crops and profit-taking by shorts. Like corn and beans, wheat is finding support due to position-squaring ahead of the monthly USDA report. The weekly export inspections were supportive at 16.9 million bushels. The average trade guess for the wheat carryover is 973 million bushels, versus the 976-mb number last month. The range of guesses is 876 million bushels to 1.003 billion. This is a historically large and bearish carryover and the current stocks-to-usage ratio of nearly 50 percent will likely limit buying interest on bounces in the foreseeable future. Most analysts expect that world carryover numbers will increase. For the rest of the day, we are above the 10-day moving averages so a little further upside test should not be a surprise.
