Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Markets Now Closes - 6-2-26 Randy Martinson, Martinson Ag
Q: Is the market getting disappointed or impatient that we haven't seen any China business or evidence of lower tariffs yet?
Yes, there is growing impatience with the lack of concrete China purchases or tariff actions, and traders are watching for news after the summit, with the expectation that tariff details or new orders could influence futures as the summer progresses.
Markets Now Early - 6-2-26 Mark Knight, Farmers Keeper Financial
Q: What areas are you watching technically that we need to hold today?
He points to key support and resistance around 670 for new crop corn (interpreted as 470 on the price chart), the 200-day moving average near 468.5, and specific levels like 440 for old crop corn, emphasizing that breaking below these levels could signal further downside.
Markets Now Early - 6-2-26 Mark Knight, Farmers Keeper Financial
Q: And Mark, let's talk about the risk of selling that we're seeing in the grain complex.
Mark explains that multiple bearish factors, including weather shifts and fund liquidation, are contributing to pressure in the grain complex, while highlighting how reduced planting risk and favorable crop progress are affecting sentiment.
Markets Now Closes - 5-29-26 Matt Bennett, AgMarket.Net
Q: So, what do things look like for new crop given expensive fertilizer and the possibility of a big carry into next year?
He notes that farmers may need to carry substantial old crop into new crop but that higher fertilizer costs and price expectations around $5 for corn along with hydrous costs could limit upside, suggesting more support might come farther from old crop and that the market needs a plan if selling resumes.
Markets Now Closes - 5-29-26 Matt Bennett, AgMarket.Net
Q: So, let's talk about if the risk of selling pressure will continue into Monday.
Matt explains that July corn charts look weak after breaking support near key levels, while December corn shows relative strength; overall, he sees potential for continued selling pressure if weekend news doesn't provide a rally, but hopes for some support further out depending on old vs. new crop dynamics and fertilizer costs.
