The number one topic in most trade reports continues to be the US/China trade problems and the expansion of tariffs by other countries in response to the US’s steel and aluminum tariffs. Even Turkey slapped a bunch of tariffs on US imports but luckily did not add anything to grain and corn by-products.
It was also a funny week in the US due to the July 4th holiday coming on Wednesday which seemed to upset the futures market a bit. Nothing like a mid-week holiday to get the futures market all excited...............please click PDF to see more details

Summer weather has finally arrived in the south of France, pushing out the weeks of rain that we had been seeing. Daytime temperatures are now up in the mid-30’s centigrade (about 95 F) and there is not a cloud in the sky. Now all those soaking wet fields can dry up a little and the farmers can start smiling again.
US Grain markets this week continued the recent pattern of moving lower every week --- corn prices were only down by about USD 3 m/t but soybeans dropped by almost USD 15 m/t and soymeal was down by around USD 10 m/t. Even US wheat continued lower with hard red winter wheat down by USD 6 m/t or so. US spring wheat was down by almost USD 10 m/t............please click PDF to see more details

I was in London this week for the International Grains Council Conference and the gala GAFTA dinner – a very busy three days but great to see many folks that I only see very rarely. The GAFTA dinner is also about the only time in the year when I get to get all duded up in my tuxedo.
So, wheat do we see with US grain and oilseed prices this week --- not much change for corn prices, only down by a dollar or two m/t of the week. The farmers don’t seem to be selling much corn which is keeping the basis up while the futures slip a little – resulting in almost no change in cash prices..................please click PDF to see more details

There is nothing like some weakness in the market to get everyone excited and this week was certainly one for falling prices. Corn was down by about USD 6 m/t with soybeans down by USD 2- to 24 m/t, soymeal down by about USD 18 to 20 m/t, winter wheat and spring wheat both down by about USD 8 m/t --- everything was down.
Other than the effect of the trade situation with the US and almost everyone, grain/oilseed markets moved lower on good US weather with decent rainfall in the forecast – there is nothing like some good weather during the growing season to help move prices lower.........please click PDF to see more details

This week was another of those down weeks for corn and soybean, not so much for wheat. Corn prices dropped by about USD 5 m/t while soybeans were down by close to USD 20 m/t and soymeal dropped USD 15 to 17 m/t. Wheat was only down a tad on the week with winter wheat almost steady and but spring wheat dropping by around USD 4 m/t...........please click PDF to see more details
