This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, August 16th. Weather continues to be the biggest factor for traders. From the floor of the CME, here's Terry Roggensack ...

Roggensack ... "Today we're going to talk a little bit about the soybean price outlook. First factor is surging ending stock estimates for the coming year. USDA, last week, pegged ending stocks for the '17-'18 season at 475-milion bushels. This is from 370-million this year and 197-million bushels last year. So, big jump in that figure. If weather and yield improve during the month of August, we could be looking at another half a bushel per acre yield improvement."
