On Wednesday,Customer complaints of foreign exchange dealers May 28, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) grain and oilseed futures market displayed a mixed pattern of volatility. The market showed a mixed trend as it was influenced by multiple factors such as U.S. weather, crop ratings, South American export pressure, and position adjustments.
Wheat: Low Ratings Spur Short-term Rebound
Wheat futures ended the previous day's steep decline with a modest rebound. The CBOT July soft red winter wheat futures rose by 0.5% to $5.31 per bushel after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its latest crop ratings report, showing that as of May 25, only 45% of U.S. spring wheat and 50% of winter wheat were rated good to excellent, both below market expectations, raising concerns about yield and prompting some short covering.
Nonetheless, on May 27, speculative funds net sold 4,500 wheat futures contracts, and have continued to increase net short positions over 30 days, reflecting overall market caution. On the basis front, the cash basis for U.S. hard red winter wheat remains stable, with farmers reluctant to sell limiting short-term downside. Internationally, India's stockpiling policy provides marginal support, and wheat prices are expected to consolidate between $5.00 and $5.50 per bushel.
Soybeans: Planting Progress Accelerates but Gains are Capped
Soybean futures edged down 0.1%, closing at $10.62 per bushel. Despite USDA data showing soybean planting progress reaching 76%, above the five-year average but slightly below market expectations, alleviating concerns of delayed planting overall, ample South American supply limited price gains.
Argentina's soybean production estimate has been lowered to 48.5 million tons, while Brazil's May exports reached as high as 14.03 million tons, reinforcing global supply pressure. Commodity funds have recently increased net long positions by 4,000 soybean futures contracts, but overall net shorts remain dominant. CIF basis remains steady, reflecting stable domestic demand albeit weaker export competitiveness. In the short term, soybeans are expected to consolidate within the $10.50 to $11.00 per bushel range.
Corn: Weaker Crop Ratings Provide Support
Corn futures rose by 0.2% to $4.60-1/4 per bushel. The USDA report pointed out that the corn good to excellent rating stands at 68%, marking the worst start in five years, far below market expectations. High temperatures and rain in major producing areas in the coming week may improve crop conditions, but short-term support remains.
Speculative fund net short positions continue to grow, and basis remains stable, indicating steady domestic demand, though exports are under pressure. Increased supply pressure is expected from upward revisions to Brazil's corn production estimates. Corn futures are expected to fluctuate narrowly between $4.50 and $4.80 per bushel.
Soybean Oil: External Market Support but Positioning Turns Cautious
Soybean oil futures rose by 0.4%, trading between 49.00 and 50.18 cents per pound. Prices were supported by rising Malaysian palm oil prices and optimistic sentiment regarding U.S. biofuel policies.
Yet, on May 27, funds net sold 2,000 soybean oil contracts, indicating growing net long positions over 30 days but with a cautious attitude. Declining trading volume indicates slightly cooling market enthusiasm. In the short term, soybean oil prices are expected to move within the 48.00-51.00 cents per pound range, with attention needed on crushing data and international vegetable oil market fluctuations.
Soybean Meal: Global Demand Stable but Prices Suppressed
Soybean meal futures showed limited fluctuations, with the July futures slightly up by 0.1 at $296.3 per short ton. Despite active purchases by Iran and the EU indicating stable global demand, ample supplies from South America and record high U.S. soybean crush limited price gains.
Fund positioning reflects persistent market hesitation, and the decline in soybean meal cash basis reflects local supply-demand imbalances. Soybean meal is expected to oscillate between $290 and $310 per short ton in the short term.
Market Outlook:
Short-term fluctuations are expected to dominate the CBOT agricultural product markets. Wheat prices are bolstered by ratings and international policy disruptions; soybeans and corn are constrained by supply-demand dynamics, lacking trend breakthroughs; soybean oil might continue to be uplifted by policy expectations and external market influences; while soybean meal maintains a consolidation pattern. Traders need to closely monitor U.S. weather, South American export rhythms, international purchasing dynamics, and the broader impact of Federal Reserve macro policies on the commodity markets.
