Johnnie Ellington II October 9, 2013 · The Light of Faith [2:20] The lightning almost snatches away their eyesight. When it lights for them, they move forward, and when it turns dark, they stand still. If GOD wills, He* can take away their hearing and their eyesight. GOD is Omnipotent. Footnote [2:21] O people, worship only your Lord—the One who created you and those before you—that you may be saved. [2:22] The One who made the earth habitable for you, and the sky a structure. He sends down from the sky water, to produce all kinds of fruits for your sustenance. You shall not set up idols to rival GOD, now that you know.

Fundamentals: Crude Oil prices have retreated the past few trading sessions following an upward move to near four-year highs last week. Among the reasons cited for the price correction was a sharp increase in U.S. Crude Oil inventories last week. The Energy Information Administration reported last Wednesday that U.S. Oil inventories increased by 8 million barrels during the week ending September 28.  This was the largest weekly increase so far in 2018 and well above the 2.7 million barrel increase market analysts were expecting. In addition, seasonal demand for Oil tends to moderate as we head into winter in the northern hemisphere, which could help ease supply concerns that arose from reduced Oil exports out of Iran -- a result U.S. sanctions placed on the sale of Iranian Crude. Oil bulls may also be lightening up on long positions on concerns that current high Oil prices may entice producers to increase production if possible, in order to take advantage of the recent pric...

Johnnie Ellington II October 9, 2013 · The Disbelievers [2:6] As for those who disbelieve, it is the same for them; whether you warn them, or not warn them, they cannot believe.* Footnote [2:7] GOD seals their minds and their hearing, and their eyes are veiled. They have incurred severe retribution.

Johnnie Ellington II October 9, 2013 · The Hypocrites [2:8] Then there are those who say, "We believe in GOD and the Last Day," while they are not believers. [2:9] In trying to deceive GOD and those who believe, they only deceive themselves without perceiving. [2:10] In their minds there is a disease. Consequently, GOD augments their disease. They have incurred a painful retribution for their lying. [2:11] When they are told, "Do not commit evil," they say, "But we are righteous!"

Johnnie Ellington II October 9, 2013 · 2:12] In fact, they are evildoers, but they do not perceive. [2:13] When they are told, "Believe like the people who believed," they say, "Shall we believe like the fools who believed?" In fact, it is they who are fools, but they do not know. [2:14] When they meet the believers, they say, "We believe," but when alone with their devils, they say, "We are with you; we were only mocking."

Johnnie Ellington II October 9, 2013 · [2:15] GOD mocks them, and leads them on in their transgressions, blundering. [2:16] It is they who bought the straying, at the expense of guidance. Such trade never prospers, nor do they receive any guidance. [2:17] Their example is like those who start a fire, then, as it begins to shed light around them, GOD takes away their light, leaving them in darkness, unable to see. [2:18] Deaf, dumb, and blind; they fail to return. [2:19] Another example: a rainstorm from the sky in which there is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears, to evade death. GOD is fully aware of the disbelievers.

[2:21] O people, worship only your Lord—the One who created you and those before you—that you may be saved.

The Corn and Soybean markets are currently digesting a number of competing variables pushing and pulling on prices. One the one hand, weather-related harvest delays, continued favorable weekly export numbers, and positive trade developments (NAFTA/USMCA) are supporting prices. But persistent talk of a record new crop, surprise USDA old crop findings, and a strengthening U. S. Dollar have combined to keep a lid on prices. Adding to this mix of market forces will be the release this Thursday of the USDA October Crop Production and WSADE ending stocks numbers. Following the larger-than-expected numbers in the USDA’s September release, particularly in Corn, market watchers are paying close attention to this next round of projections. The USDA’s National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) will furnish its latest figures for U.S. production as of October 1st. Taking their new projected yield per acre paired with their expected harvested acreage will generate updated forecasts for each ...
