📈 Funds Increase Net-Long Position in Corn Futures 🌽
The Funds have increased their net-long position in the corn market, according to CFTC’s weekly Commitment of Traders data 📊. As of Tuesday, December 24, large money managers were net buyers of 8,000 corn contracts 🌽. Additionally, funds were net buyers of 3,000 soybean contracts and net sellers of 12,000 SRW wheat contracts for the week 🥖. This shift highlights a more bullish outlook for corn amidst broader market dynamics 📈.
🌾 Corn and Soybean Futures Rally Before Late Selloff 📉
Corn futures rallied yesterday, with the March 2025 corn contract hitting a high of $4.58 per bushel before closing lower 🌽. This was the highest trade since June 25th 📅. The March 2025 soybean contract also rallied but faced trend resistance near $10.04, ultimately closing at $9.92 🌱. While holiday markets tend to be slower, increased farmer selling amid the rally, especially in corn, has played a role in the price action 📉.
🌦️ Dry Weather Forecast for Brazil and Argentina 🌾
Moisture deficits are expected in some areas of Brazil and Argentina over the next two weeks 🌞. Southern Brazil, Uruguay, and northeast Argentina are forecast to receive well-below-normal rainfall 🌧️. In particular, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná, key soybean-growing regions in southern Brazil, are expected to see rainfall less than 35% of normal 🌾. Even drier conditions are projected for parts of northeast Argentina, raising concerns about crop development 🌱.
🚢 US Corn Shipments Decline, Soybean and Wheat Shipments Rise 📦
US corn shipments saw a decline last week, with 878,380 metric tons (35 million bushels) inspected for export, down 23% from the previous week but up 54% from the same week last year 🌽. Soybean shipments were strong at 1.6 million metric tons (58 million bushels), down 12% from the prior week but up 62% compared to the same week last year 🌱. Wheat shipments also increased, reaching 337,685 metric tons (12 million bushels), which was 17% lower than the previous week but 22% higher than last year 🌾.
🏭 ADM Faces Shareholder Pressure Amid Investigation 🧐
ADM is facing shareholder criticism after the company’s stock has fallen by about 30% this year, marking its largest decline since the 2008 financial crisis 📉. Hartwig Fuchs, an ADM shareholder and former executive, has called for the CEO’s resignation, citing failures to address the company’s declining stock value. ADM disclosed an investigation into its nutrition division’s accounting practices in January, and further errors were found in November. Fuchs is urging the CEO to offer clearer explanations to rebuild investor trust 📊.
📦 Flash Sale of Soybean Oil 🌱
The USDA reported a flash sale of soybean oil on Monday 📦. US exporters sold 23,000 metric tons of soybean oil to India for delivery during the 2024/2025 marketing year 🇮🇳. Since the beginning of the year, 174,000 metric tons of soybean oil have been sold through flash sales 🌾.
