While the wheat market paused following its recent surge, the rally in corn and soybeans extended further on concerns about global production at a time of strong demand. MARKET NEWS U.S. wheat futures gained as traders worried expected rains across key producing regions would be insufficient to ease the threat of reduced output. Corn, soybean and sugar prices have been sizzling of late, yet coffee has been in the doldrums. On the demand side, the latest S&D Coffee and Tea Market Report observed signs of increased consumption, as U.S. commercial stocks have recently declined.
France is the main wheat supplier to Algeria, and it is the top export market for French wheat. Earlier this week, wheat futures reached the highest since December 2014.Next year is frightening us beyond imagination, WFP Executive Director David Beasley said in an interview. The following graph illustrates just how much coffee (green line) has lagged the other major “softs” this fall, putting into context traders’ growing frustrations.
We’re not there yet, though, so no new long positions are currently recommended in coffee futures or coffee-tracking ETFs. Indeed, La Niña is threatening even more bad weather in the coming months, which is hardly conducive for productive coffee flower development. Those bookings have translated to a record shipment pace for soybeans, but corn has yet to turn out the drastically larger export volumes.

Crude oil futures still trade around a third lower than levels at the start of the year.

United States
The last debate ahead of the Nov.3 contest saw a restrained Trump and Biden discuss a range of topics, including the economy, the coronavirus pandemic and climate change. In a relatively civil debate following a turbulent first faceoff, President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden traded some barbs last night over the economy. A vaccine could be another way for Trump to regain momentum in the presidential race, since he is still far behind in nationwide polling.
Investors looked past the final presidential debate, in which President Trump and Democrat candidate Joe Biden offered differing views of the administration’s handling of coronavirus. The second and final US presidential debate was far more civil than the first and many declared Trump a marginal winner. Virus Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden attacked President Donald Trump for his handling of the pandemic in last night’s debate. Right?The Fed s path forward is key to another debate bubbling in financial markets: is the classic 60% stocks, 40% fixed-income strategy dead?
Finally, The stock posted strong guidance recently and the market got all hyped about both UPS and FDX.
The fact LAS has entered more significantly into the US market shows management isn’t afraid of competing, but this confidence could penalize them if it proves to be arrogance. The big dark horse ahead of the debate was whether Trump had a “smoking gun” from Hunter Bidens laptop that Rudy Giuliani allegedly holds a copy of.

Europe
The success of this bond deal shows the EU can easily raise money to help support the economy. Maybe-but most benchmark issuers issue bonds on a regular basis, whereas the EU issues bonds in response to programs. The EU is only planning on issuing large amounts of debt over the next four to five years, but if successful, this approach could be considered longer term. An EU confidence survey yesterday and the UK GfK Consumer Confidence survey out overnight showed confidence dipping in October, likely on the ugly resurgence of Covid-19 numbers.
“3 Will the new EU debt become the benchmark bond for Europe? In addition, funds from the €750 billion (US$858 billion) EU rescue plan are forthcoming. After all this issuance, the EU will become the fifth-largest bond market in Europe behind Germany, France, Italy and Spain. At this time, the European Union adopted a policy of promoting the free flow of goods, services, capital and people among its members.
His grim outlook contrasts with Prime Minister Boris Johnson s willingness to risk a no-deal split with the European Union to defend British fishing. It may be that China will be happy to let USD/CNY drop as long as EUR/USD rises, the latter of which the ECB will or should try to fight.
