Dismissals: Friday evening President Trump fired more than 4,200 Federal employees from the Treasury Department, U.S. Health Agency, Internal Revenue Service, and the Departments of Education, Commerce, and Homeland Security's cybersecurity division. Roughly 300,000 civil service workers have already been set to leave their jobs this year due to a downsizing campaign initiated earlier this year.
From the AgrInvest Commodities Team in Brazil:
"The São Paulo market is showing a slight price recovery, driven by producer withdrawals and lower immediate supply. Despite occasional shortages reported by buyers, large consumers remain well-stocked, limiting new business. In the Central-West region, demand from ethanol plants continues to support prices, while in the South, slow exports are putting pressure on the market. Goiás has greater liquidity through cooperatives, with more advantageous negotiations due to the use of PIS/COFINS credits.
Exports remain on time, and the firm dollar provides additional support to prices. In Argentina, planting of 25/26 corn is progressing rapidly, with good growth in the central region and favorable humidity, while areas in the south and west still face challenges. Brazilian corn ethanol exports grew 45% in September, led by South Korea and the Netherlands, and new FS plants are expected to expand capacity by 2027.
