Al Kluis, Kluis Advisors, says that investors are looking for new news to trade.
“As the market searches for some fresh input to trade on, look for a sideways pattern to develop. Rallies will be quickly sold as we come into harvest,” Kluis stated to customers in a daily note.
He added, “"Big crops get bigger," and that was true again this USDA report. There are indications the October
USDA report could see the total corn and soybean crop get even bigger.”At mid-session:

Wheat futures were higher in overnight trading as bargain hunters jump in after yesterday's selloff. Futures gained 7-9 cents overnight, while corn and beans were little changed. Hurricane Florence slammed into the Carolina coast overnight and the feared storm surge is already leading to flooding with the eye of the storm yet to make landfall. The storm slowed, which is bad because it now is just sitting over the coast hammering homes, farms and people over and over. The slow speed of the storm likely will mean increased damage, the NWS said. In other news, export sales for corn missed expectations last week, but met forecasts for soybeans and wheat. Check out today's 3 Big Things for all the details.
West Texas Intermediate = up 0.3%.
