Re: Floor Talk April 4
Here's how Allendale Inc. sees the USDA's April 9th Report coming out:
Corn - For this report, we see higher revisions for exports and ethanol. Argentina corn production is estimated at 24 million tonnes (USDA 24 mt) and Brazil corn at 70 (USDA's 70 mt).
Soybeans - Exports are seen increased on this report. USDA may balance that with higher imports. Argentina soybean production is estimated at 54 million tonnes (USDA 54.0 mt) and Brazil is at 87.5 mt (USDA 88.5 mt).
Wheat - We expect exports to be lowered on this report.
Supply & Demand, to be RELEASED ON 4/9/14
US ENDING STOCKS USDA USDA ALDL
in million bushels 12/13 13/14 13/14
US Corn 821 1456 1406
US Beans 141 145 135
US Wheat 718 558 579
WORLD ENDING STOCKS USDA USDA ALDL
in million metric tonnes 12/13 13/14 13/14
World Corn 134.67 158.47 157.11
World Soybeans 57.79 70.64 69.80
World Wheat 175.92 183.81 183.55
What do you think? Is that U.S. soybean number tight enough? What else sticks out at you, regarding these estimates?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Floor Talk April 4
For wheat, for the reasons I've already outlined below, I think the free stocks for trade means the year end inventory is close to 100 - 110 MMT. That's not near what assumptions are.

Re: Floor Talk April 4
They are not lowering the soybean number below 145.
