Future Corn Prices Prediction 2012

Written By mine on Sabtu, 03 September 2011 | 09.52

Corn prices predicted 2012 is not separated from the price in 2011, back to the mid-2011 that the price of corn surged after the government lowered its estimate for this summer's crop and predicted global inventories will remain tight in 2012.

Corn settled up 2.8 percent Thursday at $7.855 a bushel.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture predictedU.S.corn stockpiles will total 695 million bushels in 2012. The total fell 205 million bushels from its previous estimate after heavy rains delayed spring planting in the easternCorn Beltand Northern Plains.

The estimate is important because theU.S.is the world's No. 1 corn exporter. Corn stockpiles are already short, and analysts have said for months that theU.S.needs to produce as much corn as possible this summer to offset tight supplies as demand grows stronger from other nations, ethanol producers and livestock owners.

The agency forecast global corn supplies at 111.9 million tons next year, which will be the lowest inventory since 2006-2007 if the prediction holds through the growing season.

China's production was expected to increase, but the department said that will be offset by higher consumption, leaving inventory at 51 million tons in 2012, just below the previous two years.

If actual costs in 2012 equal projected costs, the $162 per acre costs will be the second highest on record for centralIllinoisfarms with high-productivity farmland (see graph below). Only the 2008 cost of $185 per acre exceeds the 2012 projected costs. The actual fertilizer cost of $124 in 2010 and the projected of $150 per acre for 2011 are below the projected 2012 costs.

Written By mine on Sabtu, 04 Desember 2010 | 02.28

Corn prices in South Africa, the continent?s largest producer of the grain, fell as a forecast for rain in growing areas bolstered the prospects for yields. The South African Weather Service predicted heavy rainfall across the provinces of Mpumalanga, the biggest producer of yellow corn, and Free State, where most of the nation?s white- corn crop is grown.

White corn for March delivery, the most active contract on the South African Futures Exchange in Johannesburg, fell 4 rand, or 0.3 percent, to end trade at 1,369 rand ($198) a metric ton in Johannesburg. Meal made from the grain is the country?s staple food.

Yellow corn for March delivery dropped 5 rand, or 0.3 percent, to 1,445 rand a ton. The grain is used mainly as animal feed in South Africa. The U.S. and Argentina are among the world?s biggest corn exporters.

The intraday price for Corn Products Intl Inc has moved above its 200 period 30 minute moving average of 33.33. CPO is near 33 bucks now. The general trend in CPO has been down recently.

Already below support of $33 might make it difficult in the near-term.

More commodity

Corn and soybean futures jumped to the highest prices in two years as plans by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the economy sent the dollar lower, boosting demand for commodities as a hedge against inflation.

The dollar fell to an 11-month low against a basket of six currencies after the Fed said yesterday it would buy an additional $600 billion of Treasuries through June and will keep interest rates low for an ?extended period.? The Standard & Poor?s GSCI Index of 24 commodities rose to the highest level since Oct. 3, 2008. Corn has jumped 58 percent since the end of June and soybeans rose 41 percent on reduced global production.

?It?s like the Fed is printing $600 billion of new money, and that increases inflationary expectations,? said Don Roose, the president of U.S. Commodities Inc. in West Des Moines, Iowa. ?It a rush of new investment money into hard assets like commodities.?

Corn futures for December delivery rose 9 cents, or 1.5 percent, to close at $5.90 a bushel at 1:15 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade, after touching $5.9575, the highest level since Aug. 29, 2008. Prices surged 17 percent in October after hot, dry weather reduced the size of the U.S. crop.

Soybean futures for January delivery rose 37.25 cents, or 3 percent, to close at $12.7475 a bushel in Chicago, after earlier touching $12.79, the highest level for a most-active contract since Sept. 3, 2008. The commodity jumped 12 percent in October on rising U.S. export sales to China.

The U.S. is the world?s largest grower and exporter of both commodities. Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, valued at $48.6 billion in 2009, government figures show, followed by soybeans at $31.8 billion.
