  • Traders seem to be taking a risk off approach heading into the weekend as Israel ordered over 1 million people to move out of the northern Gaza strip
  • Export sales from last week were higher than expected with corn at 910,400 MT and beans at 1.06 MMT
  • One of the top ethanol makers in the U.S. says that we should be embracing carbon pipelines and that states that choose not to could be "left behind"

Have a great weekend!
