There will no export sales released today due to the partial government shutdown Corn as of 7:45- 1 higher Corn regaining some of Tuesday’s losses on solid ethanol grind which was 1051 this week up from 1000 last week. Concerns of Brazils safrinha (double crop) production surfacing again as well. E-15 EPA decision being delayed due to the shut down as well. Corn remains rangebound as we look for something new to talk about. Soybeans as of 7:45- 3 higher March soybean seems to be drawn to that $9 mark as we are within 2c again overnight. Brazilian harvest is underway and there is also concerns about China cutting back soybean meal needs due to the number of hogs infected with African Swine Fever. Outside of that we continue to wait for some sort of trade settlement. Wheat as of 7:45- 1-3 higher Wheat continues to be a follower with very little to talk about outside of ideas of Russia cutting back exports but this has been talked about for a while now and we are yet to actually see anything real yet. US remains in the ball game for exports as we await export sales reporting that has been delayed due to the government shutdown.
