Tidbits, Export Inspections, Markets & Rain Days Update 4/18/23

Highlights


Early today, China released its first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It was 4.5% better than a year ago. The market expected a 4.0% growth for the first quarter and expects 5.3% better GDP in 2023 than 2022. We expect their 2023 growth will be 6+% for the year. Being a major consumer of corn, wheat, beans, and crude oil, the Chinese economy is very important to you.

Charles Schwab shares closed 3.9% higher yesterday on better than expected first quarter earnings.

Yesterday’s National Weather Service’s (NWS) 8 to 14 day forecast has much below normal temperatures for the Eastern two-thirds of the Corn Belt. That will take us to the first day of May.
