Private Estimates
DTN released their yield estimates for corn and soybeans yesterday afternoon, and boy were they bullish. They have the national average corn yield at 167.2 bushels per acre, well below the USADA’s July estimate of 177. We have been assuming the market has been trading 174-175. DTN’s estimate for soybean yield comes in at 48.9, well below the USDA’s 51.5. As with corn, we’ve been assuming the market is trading closer to 50bpa.


WASDE Estimates
Reuters has complied estimates for Friday’s WASDE report. The average analyst estimate for corn yield is 175.9, with production at 14.392. The average estimate for soybean yield is 51.1, with production at 4.481.

Soybeans (September): As with corn futures, soybean futures got some friendly news yesterday afternoon which has helped move prices out above first resistance, taking prices to our next pocket, 1498-1503. This pocket represents previously important price points and the 100-day moving average. Above this pocket, resistance comes in in the low to mid 1520's. If the market gets out above that area, there's not a lot of resistance until closer to $16.00.
