Good
morning.
USDA report day.

 

US
equities are higher this morning after selling off hard Tuesday after the Fed indicated US rates could go higher. The USD is higher and WTI crude oil lower. There were several ag import tenders overnight, not surprising after prices collapsed on Tuesday. Before
the electronic session, futures for corn, soybean meal and soybean rebounded (meal the leader). Soybean oil is higher on technical buying. A large rise in soybean oil open interest yesterday suggests a lot of shorts were added. Wheat remains under pressure
from follow through selling related to optimism that the Black Sea grain deal will get done.
