   Row Crops Return to Higher Price Action as China Confirms Tariff Reductions

   Crop futures recovered from Tuesday's profit-taking session to trade
moderately higher, fueled by confirmation out of Beijing that tariffs will in
fact be greatly reduced. Though reports that U.S. soybeans will remain subject
to a 13% duty caused a bit of a stir in analyst circles, the market largely
ignored this caveat for Wednesday's session, discussed in further detail below.
In outside markets, softer energy markets were a bit of a headwind for grain
and oilseed futures, while the U.S. Dollar Index has shown signs of a potential
top near 3-month highs after five consecutive days higher. Equity markets were
firm, snapping a 2-day skid after ADP reported strong payroll totals in a
Wednesday morning report.
