Bargain buying lifts canola but weather limits gains

09 августа 2017 года

Light bargain buying helped lift crop futures into positive territory on Wednesday.

The modest bounce today came after two down days this week, but gains were limited by forecasts for good weather in the U.S. Midwest.

The first part of August in the central United States is expected to be cooler than normal, which would help corn as it fills kernels and soybeans as it sets pods.

The weather outlook for the Canadian Prairies into the first couple of weeks of August remains fairly dry, but the cooler trend from the U.S. could extend into the Prairies.

November canola closed at $501.00 up $2.60 or 0.52 percent.

Corn drew support from a bullish U.S. corn yield estimate from commodity brokerage INTL FCStone, Reuters said.

The firm late Tuesday projected the U.S. corn crop at 13.59 billion bushels, with an average yield of 162.8 bu. per acre. The estimate was well below the USDA’s July forecast for a corn crop of 14.255 billion bu., with a trend-based yield of 170.4 bu per acre.

The USDA issues its next supply and demand forecasts on Aug. 10.

Russian agriculture consultancy IKAR on Tuesday increased its estimate for this year’s wheat production in Russia to a record 74-77 million tonne range.

“If Russia were indeed to harvest a crop at the upper edge of IKAR’s estimate, this would offset the weather-related crop shortfalls in the U.S.,” Commerzbank analysts said in a note, Reuters reported
