U.S. Ethanol Output Lands at High End of Estimates — Market Talk

Grade Bbearish AI signal

U.S. ethanol production climbed by 25,000 barrels per day to 1.118 million barrels, reaching its highest weekly average since late July and the upper end of analyst estimates. Ethanol inventories declined by 35,000 barrels to 25.5 million barrels, partially offsetting the signal of increased production. Higher output could weigh on ethanol prices if supply continues to build, while declining inventories may limit some of that pressure.

ICE Review: Canola Slips, Lower Soyoil and Higher Crude

ICE canola futures closed slightly lower as sharp losses in Chicago soyoil and fund selling outweighed support from rising crude oil and limited farmer selling. September Canadian canola crush reached nearly 1.88 million metric tons, up from almost 1.23 million a year earlier, while the harvest was 99% complete in Manitoba. Continued weakness in competing vegetable oils and fund selling could pressure canola futures, while stronger crude oil and limited farmer selling may help limit further declines.

Fed Chair Warsh Reaffirms 2% PCE Target as AI CapEx Faces Tighter Financial Conditions

Fed Chair Warsh reaffirmed the Federal Reserve’s 2% price-stability target measured by the PCE price index, saying there are “no ifs and or buts” around delivering price stability and no softer inflation target. Warsh said interest rates affect “almost everything,” including artificial intelligence and new technology. He noted that the effects of rates have been visible across and beyond the technology complex since early September, while credit spreads have widened for some assets and financial conditions have tightened in some areas. He also said strong capital expenditure is broadening beyond a small number of narrow areas. During the remarks, the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.25%, the S&P 500 gained 0.19%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index climbed 1.3%. The two-year Treasury yield was down 3.7 basis points at 4.7016% after reaching 4.7848% during Warsh’s opening remarks. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.9968% at 02:43 before a V-shaped move. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.1% to 1223.93 after reaching 1227.18 at 02:33 and then hitting 1223.16 at 02:50. Spot gold rose before pulling back. Warsh also said five internal Fed working groups are progressing, with some findings due before year-end, though they are unlikely to affect the current policy juncture.

CBOT soybeans fall, following wheat lower, as Russia issues Sea of Azov grain vessel permits

CBOT soybean futures fell for a third straight session as Russia's permits for grain-export vessels to leave the Sea of Azov raised concerns that renewed Black Sea shipping could weaken US export demand for animal feeds and edible oils. November soybeans settled down 4.75 cents at $12.24½ per bushel, while December soyoil dropped 1.15 cents to 65.56 cents per pound and its most-active contract touched levels last seen in early July. A revival of Black Sea grain traffic, continued fund liquidation and China's planned auction of 402,000 metric tons of imported soybeans could add further pressure to soybean and soyoil prices.

Perhaps Some FOMC Members Who Didn't Dissent Are Sending Message — Market Talk

The Fed held interest rates steady, with only two FOMC members dissenting in favor of a hike, while analysts viewed the limited dissent and cautious statement language as marginally dovish. Treasury yields moved higher, with the 10-year yield reaching 5.04%, while Bitcoin hovered near $80,000 and long-term holders faced potential selling pressure from coins bought between $85,000 and $118,000. A cautiously dovish interpretation of the Fed's decision could support risk assets, but fading Bitcoin ETF demand and potential selling near $85,000 could limit BTC's recovery.
