Good Morning! The grain markets are mixed following another round of aggressive fund selling on Wednesday. The dollar index continues to soar higher, making new highs for the move for the 3rd consecutive session and trading at an 11-month high. The strength in the US dollar weighs on commodities as investors flock to the safe-haven of the dollar amidst concern of slow world economic growth. China customs data showing China imported 1.51 MMTs of soybeans from the US in March, up from February's shipments of .907 MMTs. China also imported 2.79 million tons of soybeans from Brazil. Total imports for the month of March were reported at 4.91 MMTs. Walmart announced Wednesday it is entering the beef industry. The nation’s largest grocer is creating its own end-toend supply chain to sell no-hormone-added Angus beef cuts in 500 Walmart stores across the Southeast later this year. Walmart's move follows rival Costco effort to develop a poultry processing plant and dozens of supplier farms to provide the chain's signature rotisserie chickens. The weather outlook for the Midwest still has 3 systems that will move through the region today through next Thursday. The Northern U.S. Plains has moderate rainfall into the weekend with some areas even looking at some measurable snowfall. The Southern Plains is mostly dry through Saturday before rains arrive Sunday bringing moderate precipitation to most of the region and lasting into the middle of next week. Have a great day!
