It was another low volume lackluster day in the grains. March corn just cannot break the $4.50 level while beans slipped into the red at the close. Tomorrow will be a short day (markets close at 1pm) while the office closes at noon. Friday will feature a 9:30am open with a normal 2:15pm close. This usually is one of the lowest trade volume days of the year. The grains are searching for fresh inputs, but we likely won’t see any until the January report. There will be no blog updates until Monday Dec 29th.

The CBOT is in holiday mode which means reduced volume. Sometimes this can lead to artificially high/low swings if a heavy hitter wants to push their weight around. Wheat was the upside leader today with black sea logistical issues making waves. Recently soybeans have been brutalized and were long overdue for a bounce. Rallys will be hard fought with such a large crop coming from South America. The bridge farm payment data should be released in the next few days. Early estimates look like 25-30$/acre on beans and around $45/acre for corn. Holiday hours will be Wednesday Dec 24 till noon then closed Thursday Dec 25th for Christmas.
