Daily Ag Direction 3/18/25
3/18/25
Overnight trade was mixed with wheat creeped higher despite a slow trade following yesterdays large rally while corn and beans flat/lower. Wind event bringing dust storms continue to batter HRW country with no moisture in sight. Wheat crop conditions are dropping & exports have been decent/good leaving the fund’s shorts potentially exposed if continues upward. Corn/beans is establishing a range after the late Feb bottom and looks to be content within that up till march WASDE. Brazilian bean harvest reported at 69.8% (~5% higher than than the 5 year avg). It’s a quick comeback from an ugly start to their bean harvest.
