The USDA’s reporting generally slow U.S. export sales during the week ending April 11th. Pork hit a marketing year low with decent demand from the usual buyers, but with several of those buyers also making small reductions in their purchases, chipping away at the weekly total. Rice also hit a marketing year low, and wheat and sorghum had net reductions. Corn and soybeans were up on the week, but continue to reflect heavy competition from other sellers, while beef and cotton showed week to week improvements.
