“Futures are again mixed with little clear direction being seen,” said Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting. “Fresh news remains light and this is contributing to the lethargic market action. Our next big influx of data will be next week’s WASDE update, but typically the December report is a quiet one. Month, quarter, and year end will start to become primary factors in price discovery. Two main points of interest right now are the weather conditions in South America and escalated fighting in the Black Sea.”
