Markets trading very firm, there are limited sellers for prompt positions in US/South America. The Cbot is trading at 370 cents/bushel as of this report writing for Dec contract. The Chicago price movement will take some time to factor in for physical markets to come to terms to. The replacements levels are going up every day. Indicative Brazil FOB 190-192., US 190-203, Argentina 190, Ukraine 187-190/- pmt. South East Asia will have to look out for their open positions and look for other options- India might be having a better chance this year unless our markets also starts reacting in a similar way.
Weather :-
We have our weathermen giving us rains in Maharashtra/Telangana/Karnataka regions. All regions very important for Maize crop in India. Rest of the regions will receive light to scanty rainfall during the next 4-5 working days. The rains now will definitely set back the crop arrival by 7-10 days as per market experts.
