🌾 Market Update: It’s been a rollercoaster for the Dec24 corn and Nov24 soybean contracts! Both hit fresh lows on Thursday, weighed down by farmers rushing to sell old crops, expectations of bountiful US harvests, and sluggish export sales. Money managers are keeping their chips on the table with near-record short positions. 📉

🔍 USDA Report Anticipation: All eyes on the USDA's Crop Production and WASDE report this Monday! Market whispers suggest an uptick in corn and soybean yield projections due to upbeat crop ratings and decent weather. Yet, there might be a twist with expected cuts in harvested acreage. Stay tuned for potential adjustments in corn and soybean carryouts. 🌽📈

🚢 Export News: Corn export sales are looking up, smashing expectations with a boost from Mexico as the top buyer. Soybean sales are also strong, thanks to a boost from China. Wheat's doing alright but could be better, with Taiwan stepping up as the top buyer. 🌎🛳️

🏗️ Big Moves in Brazil: CHS is diving into a massive project with Rumo SA at Brazil’s bustling port of Santos, aiming to significantly up their grain and fertilizer handling game. This $440 million venture underscores Brazil's aggressive crop export strategy. 🇧🇷🌾

🌦️ Weather Woes: Last week's scattered showers gave some relief to parts of the Corn Belt, but it’s still dry out west with worsening drought conditions in Nebraska and Missouri. The High Plains aren't faring much better, with Kansas and Oklahoma feeling the heat. 🌞🌾

💰 CF Industries Profits Soar: Thanks to strong global nitrogen prices, CF Industries saw a hefty profit surge, with their stocks jumping 8.5% in one day! Restrictions on natural gas and a dip in Chinese nitrogen exports have kept prices high, fueling this gain. 📊💹

Stay tuned for more updates, and keep an eye on those charts! Let's see how the market swings after the USDA report on Monday! 📉📈
