It was a short work week in the US following the holiday last Monday but there was still time to push prices lower on the week. Looking at US futures, corn was down by about USD 5 to 6 m/t, soybeans down by USD 4 to 5 m/t, soymeal down by about USD 3 m/t. Wheat prices were steady on the week with a range of up or down a dollar a ton or so........please click PDF to see more details

Monday is a holiday in the US so the grain markets and most business will be closed for the day. As has been said before – a three day weekend normally starts with price changes that mean nothing as buyers and sellers in the US are just evening their order books before the long weekend.
Looking at how the futures markets finished the week, things seemed quite calm for corn with prices almost unchanged on the week. Soybeans did finish the week about USD 5 m/t higher.................please click PDF to see more details 

This week looked like another week being pressured by the “WASDE Effect” – US corn prices were lower by USD 8 m/t with soybeans down by USD 12+ and soymeal down by USD 10 to 12 m/t. Even winter wheat prices in the US were down by USD 6 to 8 m/t.
Other than the carry over WASDE situation the US/China trade situation has not helped support prices all that much – the more everyone fights the lower prices drop.........please click PDF to see more details 

So, this was USDA WASDE week and the market certainly did react – corn price dropped by about USD 15 m/t, soybeans down by just about USD 5 m/t with soymeal close to USD 5 m/t lower, winter wheat was down by USD 9 to 10 m/t with spring wheat down by close to USD 5 m/t. Farm gate prices are said to be down even further than export and futures prices.........please click PDF to see more details

These days I seem to be talking about lower prices every week and this week is no different. Corn prices slipped by about USD 6 to 8 m/t while soybeans dropped by at least USD 12 m/t and soymeal was off by about USD 11 m/t. Even US winter wheat was down by about USD 5 m/t – but not much happened to spring wheat prices.......please click PDF to see more details

Wheat prices too were a little weaker with prices moving between USD 2 and 5 m/t lower...........please click PDF to see more details

Actually, the prices at the end of the week would have been lower but for a sudden rally on Friday pushed all grains and oilseeds up on the day...........please click PDF to see more details

A holiday week in the US certainly made for a low volume, quiet week. Everyone was closed on Thursday for the 4^th of July, but many companies also closed on Friday or worked with limited staff ---so things were very, very, very quiet.
On the week, corn price rallied a little higher with futures moving up by about USD 5 m/t, but export corn prices.......please click PDF to see more details

It wasn’t quite as exciting a week this week with markets a little calmer, but it looks like a change in the weather in the US has brought the recent price rally to an end – at least for now.
On the futures side of things, we had corn prices ending the week down by about USD 5 m/t with soft winter wheat ......please click PDF to see more details
