Demand shemand. The clean out isn’t over – capital flow still all heading for the door even though the global consumer has awoken from their slumber. Egypt and Pakistan, Algeria and Saudi put their hands up, but it doesn’t seem to matter.

Corn market needs to find a record yield and there are a few cracks on the weather front.

Fundamentally, the backdrop is very similar to what it was US$2/bu ago. It’s a fascinating exercise around market phycology – it’s all about bearish inputs at the moment and, while the market is in liquidation mode that’s all we will focus on.

Europe’s largest economy registered its first monthly trade deficit since May 1991. German imports rose 2.7pc on the month, more than economists had expected, while exports fell 0.5pc. The divergence led to a gap of €1 billion ($1.04 billion), which hadn’t been seen since just after the country reunited more than 30 years ago. Warning on Monday that Germany faced a “historic challenge,” chancellor Olaf Scholz added that “the crisis won’t pass in a few months” because Russia’s war in Ukraine “has changed everything, and supply chains are still disrupted by the pandemic”.

Australia

Local markets again softer with sellers struggling to find buyers.

Another wet day for norther New South Wales with falls ranging from 5-100mm. Waterlogged paddocks not getting the time to dry out and farmers now suggesting a reduction in area able to be sewn here.
