Corn, soybeans market forecast week october 22-27 2012, grain market prediction next week october 22-26 2012 : The grain markets started the week like they finished the last, which was under pressure. There was simply a lack of fresh bullish news and plenty of disappointment in the lack of follow through buying after the October supply and demand report. Plus many traders have continued to focus on ideas that USDA would increase the soybean production estimate in the November supply and demand report. By mid-week the market had found some support and the news began to improve. By the end of the week traders were talking about rising corn and wheat basis levels around the world, the Ukrainian ban on wheat exports, large wheat sales to unknown destinations and the probability that corn importers would soon turn to the US for supplies.

food prices expectation 2013

food prices expectation 2013 ; Global food prices are rising and are likely to touch an all-time high in 2013 due to drought in some parts of the world, according to a report. that governments' interventions to check high food prices by way of export bans and commodity stockpiling could exacerbate commodity price volatility.

Skyrocketing agri-commodity prices are causing the world to re-enter a period of "agflation", with food prices forecast to reach record highs in 2013 and to continue to rise well into Q3 of the 2013,

Also, the Food Price Index of UN body FAO is expected to rise by 15 per cent by the end of June 2013, adding that world food prices are rising once again as drought in the US, South America and Russia have diminished crop prospects and tightened already low inventory levels.

As a result of drought in key exporting countries and rapid demand growth in developing countries, the combined global wheat, rice, corn and soyabean stocks-to-use is expected to fall to 19.6 percent in 2012-13, only 0.4 percent above 2007-08 levels, it added.

This time around, the most affected commodities are largely used in animal feed (like corn and soyabean) and are not core food staples (such as wheat and rice) of the world's developing economies.

Unlike the staple grain shortage seen in 2008, this year's scarcity will affect feed intensive crops with serious repercussions for animal protein and dairy industries, it said.

"These commodities are currently 30 per cent cheaper than their 2008 peaks. Nonetheless, price rises are likely to stall the long-term trend towards higher protein diets in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa,

In developed economies - especially the US and Europe - where meat and corn price elasticity is low, the knock-on effect of high grain prices will be felt for some time to come,

Increases in commodity stockpiling and interventions such as export bans are a distinct possibility in 2012-13 as governments across the globe react to protect domestic consumers from increasing world food prices

Corn, soybeans, wheat prices september 17 2012

Corn, soybeans, wheat prices september 17 2012 : Chicago soybeans fell for a second consecutive session today and corn slid more than 1 percent, pressured by a rapidly advancing US harvest which is bringing fresh supplies to the market.

Wheat gave up 1 percent to fall from Friday's five-week top as favourable weather for the US winter crop planting and supplies from India weighed on the market.

Chicago Board of Trade December wheat fell 1.19 percent to $9.13-1/4 a bushel and new-crop December corn lost 1.37 percent to $7.71-1/2 a bushel. November soy slid 1.54 percent to $17.12-1/2 a bushel.

The grain markets got a boost last week following the Federal Reserve's latest stimulus plan. But the progress of the corn and soybean harvest in the U.S. Midwest prompted investors to sell.

In addition, rainfall in the US, which has improved the conditions for

planting and forecast rain in Australia, could have a positive impact on yields, weighing on prices today, Germany's Commerzbank said in a daily note.

Traders are expecting the corn harvest to be 20-25 percent complete as of Sunday. The soybean harvest, which was 4 percent complete last week, is picking up speed and could be 10 percent finished.

corn, soybeans futures prices september 11 2012

corn, soybeans futures prices september 11 2012 : U.S. grain futures were mixed during European morning hours on Tuesday, as investors readjusted positions ahead of the release of a key monthly U.S. Department of Agriculture report on U.S. grain supplies on Wednesday.

The USDA will release its updated supply and demand and crop production reports on Wednesday.

The market is expecting the USDA report to show an upward revision to its soybean crop estimate, amid speculation some late-season rainfall across parts of the U.S. farm belt aided the crop.

The report was also expected to show a slight downward revision in U.S. corn supplies, as crop damage from severe drought conditions was seen as irreversible.

On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, corn futures for December delivery traded at USD7.8788 a bushel, adding 0.6%. The December contract was stuck in a tight trading range of USD7.8162 a bushel, the daily low and a session high of USD7.8838 a bushel.

Prices slumped to a three-week low of USD7.8137 a bushel on Monday.

The USDA’s weekly crop progress report released after Monday’s closing bell showed that 15% of the U.S. corn crop was harvested as of September 9, up from 10% the preceding week and higher than the 5% recorded in the same week a year earlier.

Only 22% of the U.S. corn crop was rated in ‘good’ to excellent’ condition as of last week, unchanged from the previous week and below the 53% recorded in the same week a year earlier.

The share of the U.S. corn crop that was rated ‘poor’ to ‘very poor’ held steady at 52% last week.

The U.S. produced 38% of the world's corn last year, making it the both world's largest corn producing nation and the largest exporter of the grain.

Front-month prices touched an all-time high of USD8.4237 a bushel on August 10, as escalating concerns over the impact of the worst drought in at least 56 years in the U.S. Midwest and Great Plains-region drove prices higher.

Meanwhile, soybeans futures for November delivery traded at USD17.1788 a bushel, easing down 0.05%. The November contract fell to a session low of USD17.1100 a bushel earlier, the weakest level since August 28.

The USDA said that 32% of the soybean crop was rated ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ as of last week, compared to 30% a week earlier.

Prices came under pressure after updated weather models predicted beneficial rains in the drought-stricken U.S. Midwest crop region later in the week.

The November contract rallied to an all-time high of USD17.8888 a bushel on September 4, as the same hot, dry weather that boosted corn buoyed soy futures as well. Soybeans are grown in many of the same regions across the U.S. as corn.

Elsewhere, wheat for December delivery traded at USD8.9175 a bushel, gaining 0.3%. The December contract traded in a narrow range of USD883.88 a bushel, the daily low and a session high of USD8.9288 a bushel..

Wheat futures have been well supported in recent sessions, amid growing speculation Russia will implement a limit on grain exports, despite comments last week from Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich saying the country will not curb grain shipments even if its exportable surplus is exhausted.

In 2010, Russia barred grain exports amid a severe drought, prompting global buyers to turn to U.S. supplies.

Russia is a major wheat exporter and competes with the U.S. for business on the global market. A disruption to exports from the country could boost demand for U.S. supplies, which is the world’s third largest wheat producer and biggest exporter.

Growing fears over dry weather conditions in Western Australia, the largest wheat producing state in Australia, further supported gains.

The nation cut its forecast for wheat production in the 2012-13 marketing season to 22.5 million tonnes, down 7% from an earlier estimate.

U.S. soy crop conditions remain at the lowest levels since 1988 for this time of year.

U.S. soft futures prices 9/5/2012

U.S. soft futures prices 9/5/2012, cotton prices spetember 5 2012, sugar prices sept 5 2012, .S. Department of Agriculture’s weekly crop progress report, Arabica coffee futures prices 9/3/2012 : U.S. soft futures were mostly lower during early U.S. morning trade on Wednesday, with sugar prices falling to a fresh three-month low before bouncing modestly higher on technical buying, as investors continued to eye the pace of the harvest in top grower Brazil.

On the ICE Futures U.S. Exchange, sugar futures for October delivery traded at USD0.1943 a pound, adding 0.25%.

The October contract fell by as much as 0.5% earlier to hit a session low of USD0.1930 a pound, the weakest level since June 6.

Sentiment on the sweetener has been downbeat in recent weeks, losing nearly 18% since mid-July amid easing concerns over the pace of the harvest in Brazil’s Center South region.

Brazil’s top sugar industry group Unica said late last month that sugar output in Brazil’s Center South region rose 14% in the first half of August, as dry weather conditions aided the harvest.

Sugar production rose to 3.02 million metric tons between August 1 and August 15 from 2.66 million tons a year earlier.

Sugar-cane growers harvested 44.2 million tons in the period, up 14% from 38.7 million tons a year earlier.

Sugar prices rallied to a four-month high of USD0.2398 a pound on July 20, as fears that heavy rains in Brazil could damage sugarcane crops in the country’s center-south region boosted sentiment on the sweetener.

Brazil’s center south-region produces nearly 90% of the nation’s sugar. The South American country is the world’s largest sugar producer and exporter, with the USDA estimating the nation accounts for nearly 20% of global production and 39% of global sugar exports.

Meanwhile, Arabica coffee for December delivery traded at USD1.6525 a pound, easing down 0.05%.

The December contract was stuck in a tight trading range of USD1.6388 a pound, the daily low and a session high of USD1.6638 a pound.

Coffee prices, like sugar, have been under pressure in recent weeks, as receding concerns over the impact of adverse weather conditions on crops in key growing regions in Brazil dampened the appeal of the commodity.

Coffee futures have lost approximately 13% since hitting a four-month high of USD1.9215 a pound on July 11.

Brazil is the world’s largest producer and exporter of Arabica coffee. Arabica is grown mainly in Latin America and brewed by specialty companies.

Elsewhere, cotton futures for October delivery traded at USD0.7495 a pound, shedding 0.1%.

The front-month contract was stuck in a tight trading range of USD0.7485 a pound, the daily low and a session high of USD0.7541 a pound.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s weekly crop progress report released after Tuesday’s closing bell showed that 42% of the U.S. cotton crop was rated ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ as of September 2, down 1% from a week earlier, but up from the 28% recorded in the same week a year earlier.

In the major producing state of Texas, only 23% of the cotton crop was seen as in ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ health, unchanged from the previous week.

Cotton futures have rallied in recent weeks, up nearly 11% from the lows touched in early June, as technical buying and concerns over deteriorating U.S. crop conditions boosted sentiment on the commodity.

Despite recent gains, the fiber is still down almost 65% from a record high of USD2.1970 a pound in March 2011, as higher prices prompted farmers to plant more crops and demand in top consumer China slowed.
