Good Morning: Improving weather forecast and profit taking pushing grains lower in the overnight trade. Markets failing to react to US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s claim a US-China trade deal is 90% complete. The average trade estimate for tomorrow’s USDA Hogs and Pigs report has the number of hogs as of June 1st at 103% of a year ago. Kept for breeding is pegged at 102.1% and kept for market is pegged at 103.1% of a year ago. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said Wednesday that the U.S. and China are inching closer to finalizing a long-awaited trade deal. Mnuchin made the announcement in the backdrop of the G-20 meeting this weekend in Japan where President Trump and President Xi Jinping are expected to meet. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin claims he remains confident that an US-China agreement could be inked by the end of this year but cautioned that “there needs to be the right efforts in place.” Canada halted all China-bound meat exports after a probe sparked by Beijing revealed forged certificates related to certain shipments of Canadian pork. Tension have escalated between Beijing and Ottawa following Canada's decision to arrest a senior Huawei Technologies Co. executive in December. China had already banned the import of Canadian canola seed and restricted imports of pork products from certain plants. NOAA’s 6 to 10- day and the 8 to 14-day maps are showing above normal temps for a large portion of the Midwest with normal to slightly above normal precipitation. Excessive rainfall looks limited to the southern Midwest and portions of the northern Plains. We heard reports of a few corn planters still going in the east after the USDA confirmed that corn silage would be considered a cover crop on Prevent Plant acres that could be harvested after September 1st. Enjoy the day! Wayne Kollis - Melissa Peters - Mike Rosenberg - Matt Zeman - Austin Behrendsen
