This Week on SUNUP is Oklahoma State University Extension grain market economist Kim Anderson. During this week’s edition, Anderson gives his latest update on the commodity markets.
In the last week and a half, Anderson said a dollar was knocked off wheat prices, bringing them down to around $7.90. One month ago, Anderson said wheat prices were at $9.50, so those prices have dropped quite a bit since then.
Corn has been moving sideways over the last several months, Anderson said, and was down about 30 cents this week.
Soybeans are having a good uptrend, Anderson said, but they have been moving sideways for the past few weeks. Much of that uptrend can be credited to China buying U.S. soybeans, Anderson added.
There is not much that goes on in the market between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Anderson said, and there are fewer buyers on the market during that time period.
“Right now, is a very good time to plan for that 2023 marketing year and figure out how you are going to use these scarce resources to maximize the profit, the return, to your farming enterprise,” Anderson said.
