Market Commentary

Afternoon Comments 05/17


The equity and U.S. dollar markets proved quite strong again Friday, but commodity traders seemed to pay more attention to the negative demand aspects of the greenback rally than to the economic strength implied by stock gains. As for corn, persistent old crop tightness continued supporting nearby futures, while optimism about plantings this week weighed upon deferreds. July corn surged 11.25 cents to $6.5275/bushel in Friday trading, while December dipped 4.5 cents to $5.195.

Wet weather in Minnesota delayed May planting and now is delaying herbicide applications, which has resulted in 6 to 8 inch giant ragweed and lambsquarters in fields that weren’t burnt down prior to planting or did not receive a pre-emergence treatment.  Furthermore, poor field conditions are resulting in uneven corn stands, but, because of its application flexibility, Halex® GT herbicide is the go-to treatment for a post-emergence weed control in corn. In soybean, Paul Barchenger relies on Flexstar® GT 3.5 herbicide to take down giant ragweed, some of which is glyphosate- and ALS-resistant.
