USDA Weekly Export Sales

16/12/10 -- USDA weekly export sales for the period Dec 3rd-9th 2010 were very poor for soybeans at a combined 173,600 MT split 84,600 MT old crop and 89,000 MT new crop.

It looks like there was some substance in those rumoured reports of Chinese old crop cancellations/deferrals. In addition there was only one cargo of new crop beans for China this week.

Corn sales were in line with expectations at a combined 880,100 MT whilst wheat sale beat trade ideas coming in at 973,300 MT.
