Portland Weekly Grain Review Part 1
Pacific Northwest Weekly Grain Summary
Pacific Northwest Market Summary: Cash wheat bids for January delivery
ended the reporting week on Thursday, January 10, mixed compared to week ago
bids for the same delivery period. Soft white wheat bids trended mixed,
while bids for hard red winter wheat and dark northern spring wheat moved
lower.
March wheat futures ended the reporting week on Thursday, January 10,
lower as follows compared to last Thursday's closes: Chicago 11 cents lower
at 7.4450, Kansas City 14.75 cents lower at 7.9650 and Minneapolis 7.25
cents lower at 8.3925. Chicago March corn futures trended 9.50 cents higher
at 6.9875 while March soybean futures closed 6.75 cents lower at 13.7975.
On Friday, a higher US Dollar against foreign currencies and on Wednesday
heavy rainfall in the US southwestern plains pressured wheat futures lower
for the week. A better-than-expected inspected-for-export figure of 13.4
million bushels (mb) for the week ending January 3 and a lower US Dollar on
Monday lent some support to the wheat futures. Soybean futures were
slightly lower for the week. Good weather in most of South America and some
cancellations of US soybean export sales weighed on soybean futures on
Friday. On Monday, a good inspected-for-export figure of 39.7 mb and
commercial buying were supportive to soybean futures. Corn futures were
higher for the week in reaction to spill-over support from higher soybean
futures on Monday, good export demand and commercial buying. Grain futures
all did some position squaring this week in front of tomorrow (Friday's)
USDA Supply and Demand Report.
Bids for US 1 Soft White Wheat delivered to Portland in unit trains or
barges during January trended mixed, from one cent lower to five cents per
bushel higher than week ago bids for January.
Bids for 11.5 percent protein US 1 Hard Red Winter Wheat for January
delivery fell by 9.75 to 11.75 cents per bushel compared to last Thursday's
noon bids for January delivery in following the lower Kansas City March
wheat futures. On Thursday, bids were as follows: January 8.8650-8.9650,
mostly 8.9250; February 8.9350-9.0150; March 8.9950-9.0450; April 9.0150-
9.0850 and May 9.0650-9.1150.
Bids for non-guaranteed 14.0 percent protein US 1 Dark Northern Spring
Wheat for January Portland delivery declined by 7.25 cents per bushel
compared with last week's noon bids in lining up with the lower Minneapolis
March wheat futures. Protein scales for non-guaranteed 14.0 percent protein
were plus zero cents each 1/4 of a percent of protein up to 16 percent
protein and minus four to seven cents each 1/4 of a percent of protein down
to 13 percent protein. On Thursday, bids for non-guaranteed 14 percent
protein were as follows: January 9.2425-9.3425, mostly 9.2925; February
9.2925-9.4025; March 9.2925-9.4625; April 9.4025-9.4725 and May 9.4025-
9.5125.

10 with four docked compared to 11 last Thursday with four docked. There
were no new confirmed export sales of grain for Pacific Northwest loadout
during the week.
