It was a veg oil kinda day in the markets with soy oil leading the way higher taking corn and wheat along for the ride.

Last week was somewhat interesting in markets as Monday canola was closed for Canada Day then Tuesday the US markets were closed for 4th of July.

Markets were mixed Thursday with corn taking some loses that spilled over into the wheat market somewhat while soybeans were basically flat.

Interesting couple days in the markets as the GFS and Euro weather models actually agreed that there is a really good chance of rains for the US corn belt. Now it’s a matter of follow through to see if this actually plays out and how much rain actually falls.

Well it was a wild weekend that could have started the week out with grains going limit up Sunday night. A possible coup attempt in Russia over the weekend was quickly turned around which could have made for an interesting trade Sunday night.

Markets were somewhat choppy as its looking like it may have hit the top end for now. Corn and soybeans took some heavier losses while the wheat market overall was relatively flat.

Markets made some more big moves higher as crop ratings in the US dropped more than the trade estimates. Also we saw a weaker USD and there was also talks of lower than expected biofuel blends which didn’t so much effect soybeans but hit soybean oil and canola pretty hard.

It was more or less a quiet day in the markets as it awaited the crop progress report to come out. Canola on the other hand had a mixed day which at the range between the low and the high was about $20/mt but once the overnight trade opened it took a real beating lower more so on new crop.

Markets finished the week off with a bang so to speak as it headed for a long weekend in the US. Corn and soybeans were pushing higher and wheat was just along for the ride as right now there is no concerns so far for the wheat market.

Wheat and canola made some pretty decent gains yesterday with corn and soybeans carrying them higher. Some are saying we are in a weather rally which I wouldn’t rule out but its not solely following weather.

Markets were mostly lower on the day with the exception of one commodity and that’s oats which finished the day up $0.12. This is interesting as oats are either two weeks behind the market or two weeks ahead and no one really knows which one it is.

Was yet another interesting day in markets with soybeans doing the heavy lifting and carrying up the other grains. Spring wheat and KC wheat were in the green to start the day but came under pressure while CBOT wheat managed to hold onto gains.

Markets finished Monday slightly higher as disappointing rains were seen over the weekend along with drier forecasts for the US.

Well my seeding adventure came to an end Friday night as I finished the last pass at 10PM. It felt like it was never going end.

Well here was are, almost the end of the month and seeding is getting wrapped up for the most part.

Wheat markets were on fire Monday as we rolled out of the weekend with no renewal so far for the Black Sea Corridor and also the market will chewing on the bullish USDA report from Friday.

USDA report came out Friday and was favourable wheat but not so favourable for corn and soybeans.

Markets were relatively quiet Wednesday as we get ready for the USDA report on Friday.

Markets started out he day with a weaker tone on news that China cancelled 272,000mt of corn which weighed heavy on the markets.

Markets were mostly lower with the exception of KC wheat and spring wheat being higher. KC wheat and Spring wheat were grinding higher on the day as production concerns remain while CBOT wheat was in the red.
