Floor Talk August 16
At the close:
The Dec. futures corn contract settled 3 1/2 cents higher at $8.07 1/2. The Nov. soybean contract closed 9 cents lower at $16.25. Dec. wheat futures finished 15 1/2 cents higher at $8.81 per bushel.
In the outside markets, the NYMEX crude oil is $1.19 per barrel higher, the dollar is lower and the Dow Jones Industrials are 99 points higher.
One analyst says, "The markets are mixed, as commodities have separate drivers.
"Wheat rallied, overnight, off of increased Russian exports that continue to deplete that country's stocks. Corn was supported by poor yields in western Iowa. And soybean prices were hurt by this belief that the current rains have helped boost yield potential," he says.
Also, the U.S. Farm Service Agency Thursday released its first installment of its county-by-county acreage sign-up. Beans also received support from this report, analysts say. Though farmers have until September to sign-up, the report indicates that the U.S. could see an extra 1.8 million acres vs. previous USDA expectations.

Re: Floor Talk August 16
Seen where Brazil is having it's own stimulus programs starting. Could devalue their currency which will make the trade thing very interesting. Dollar trade is now taking front and center.
Drought rapidly becoming old news. (unless your feeding something that eats!)
Not to disappoint I am leaning toward daffy duck for president and Willley E Coyote for VEEP. LOL

Re: Floor Talk August 16
Surely you jest JR. Everyone with any sense knows Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn would be a much better president and vice-president....
....I'm sure they couldn't screw things up any worse than the rest of the clowns we have running for the job.

Please don't insult Mr. Wile E. Coyote. He was just hungry. It was the private sector's fault anyway, if only that darn ACME corp had been able to build a useful roadrunner trap he wouldn't have failed utterly
