Bank of Canada kept interest rates steady while stock markets around the world tumbled today on a long awaited and needed correction. This may indeed be the oil flush we are looking for to finally bottom.

Grains holding up decently well with oilseeds on both sides of the border faring the worst with 10c drops. Not bad at all in a highly volatile day.

We believe most of our Old Crop and New Crop theses remain intact, which is for a soft sloping grind higher – up to, but not through, nearby resistance levels without a spring weather scare.

95 days until seeding starts.

Old Crop Sales Recommended this week: none – looking to move up sales of Canola and Chickpea in the coming weeks. Everything else besides Flax should be moved already.
