Grains continued to slide heading into the last day of trade before the weekend.

USDA reported this morning exporters sell 119,112 metric tons of corn for delivery to Japan, of which 60,000 MT is for 2016/2017 delivery; 134,112 MT is for 2017/2018 delivery.

Palm Oil continues to sink hitting a fresh 3-month low overnight. Production levels continue to move higher as exports remain unclear with increased veg oil supplies from South America.

On Thursday, USDA released their baseline 10-year projections ahead of their outlook conference next week. USDA shows a 2.2 billion carry-out for next year’s crop, not hugely different from 2.3 billion for the current year. This is assumed from a 90 million acre crop next year with a 170 bu yield. For soybeans, they look for carry-out to shrink to under 400 MB but that is based on assumed 1.8 million acre increase in soybean plantings this spring to 85.5 million. Most analysts are looking for a soy acreage in the 87 to 89 range.

In export news, Egypt’s GASC is in the market for wheat again overnight. The lowest offer was from Russia at $195 a ton. US wheat was also offered up at $208 per ton. The results of the tender will be announced later today.
