In the wake of the government shutdown, Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist at Stonex, said markets (agricultural and outside) are “drifting in a bit of a fog” as many government reports that impact market activity won’t be released. He noted USDA has not said whether or not the agency will release expected reports. The October World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report is scheduled for next Thursday, Oct. 9.

Suderman also noted grains and oilseeds are weaker this morning in response to yesterday’s bearish USDA reports.
