Export sales have been great in recent weeks although, exporters have not reported any sales of 100,000 mt of soybeans since November 9th. The selloff was broad-based with WTI down 2.$% during the trading day and a weaker than normal corn market which combined, and the pity party was on. Still the export of corn and soybeans are way ahead of than last year at this point. The early product was wheat flour, and in 1880 they won a gold medal at the Millers Exhibition, leading them to brand their product Gold Medal Flour.
USDA said that 84% of US Cotton is now harvested, from 77% last week, 82% last year, and 79% average. In the overnight electronic session, the March corn is currently trading at 428 ¼ which is 2 ¼ cents higher. less General Comments: Cotton closed lower on some speculative long liquidation before the end of the month and improved US harvest weather.

Currencies
The US Dollar (via the DXY Index) has hit fresh two-year lows, largely driven by gains appreciated by its largest component, the Euro. Scenario one seems far likelier, as a default by the U.S. government would create unprecedented panic and loss of confidence in the dollar. But Type 2 investors have to use all tools to compound with limited risks: a dollar today has a much higher future value. In a similar move, their peers at JPMorgan on Monday raised euro-area equities to overweight, while downgrading U.S. shares to neutral.
The Euro is starting off December on strong footing, with all EUR-crosses rallying thus far on December 1. But it’s the type of scandal that could handcuff the ECB from materially altering the Euro’s near-term path. To say the Euro is having a good start to a new month is an understatement.

Metals
The authors’ conclusion: “Going into the end of the year, we think the risks in the equity market are high while gold and gold miners look relatively attractive.” Therefore, intermediate and longer-term gold is likely headed much higher regardless of vaccines and any other transitory variables that cause temporary market gyrations in the gold market. Often times, before we see a bottom in the gold market gold miners begin to illustrate positive price action.
The reason for this is that the company is a high-cost gold producer, which means it provides significant leverage to gold prices. We see this from the technicals in gold, as well as a turnaround in gold mining stocks. One casualty of the rush to risk in November was gold; the S&P GSCI Gold fell 5.6% and ended the month near a five-month low. However, gold is not a trade, gold is an investment. Gold miners have put cost controls in place as the price of the underlying metal rose to new all-time highs.
In other words, based on this expectation for silver’s price gains, SIL is likely going to remain the better alternative and deliver a stronger return than silver itself. On this basis, I believe that silver momentum is a strong tendency around which to base a market outlook for silver prices. The price of bitcoin swung wildly last week, along with gold, flirting with its all-time high on Wednesday before plunging more than $3,000. (Source: DRDGold) As of time of writing, the price of gold is almost $57,000/kg, which is equal to 870,000 rand per kilogram.
Gold began to make a strong comeback, and right around crucial resistance at roughly $1,960 news about the Pfizer (PFE) coronavirus vaccine came out. We see a similar image in junior gold miners, which appear to be basing around 200-day moving average support. Overall, I think DRD should be worth at least $13 per share at the current price of gold. Still, keep in mind that the leverage to gold prices is high and any decrease in those will hurt the company.
I view gold as a commodity whose price performance is almost impossible to predict.
Moreover, we saw a bounce off 30 RSI (relative strength index), implying severe oversold conditions were present in the gold mining market. Higher inflation coupled with an expanding monetary base is a perfect recipe for higher gold prices. Fundamentally, the vaccine news is probably fully priced into the gold price.

Oil
While oil prices have rebounded recently, large capital expenditure plans for the future may not allow for the current payout to be sustained. I doubt that there would be any new projects or capital investments in the oil industry given the current difficulty that it is going through. The immediate application of this technology is in the oil and gas industry in particular to support off-shore drilling projects. With the downturn in oil prices impacting results, future capital expenditure forecasts were reduced.

With more than $27 trillion in national debt and a total debt to GDP ratio of nearly 144%, the Fed essentially cannot afford to raise rates. Either the Fed will need to “print” an enormous amount of money to inflate the debt away, or the U.S. will be forced to default on its bond obligations.

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) is jumping on Dec. 1 after the company raised its fiscal first quarter revenue and earnings guidance.

Europe
The point is, Philip Lane is a dove’s dove, perhaps the most outspoken dovish member at the ECB. The European Union used to have the same unemployment rate as the United States.
