FUTURES MARKET TRENDS
GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Spillover strength from the late ral
ly in soybeans pushed com prices
up to daily highs near the close.
March closed 1-1/2 cents higher at
$1.95. Activity today was choppy
as com seemed to follow gains ana
losses in the soybean pit. Long liq
uidation and position evening in
front of tomorrow’s USDA report
kept prices lower throughout most
of the session along with news that
Taiwan’s tender for 500,000 MT
of US com will be delayed.
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybeans settled from
7 to 10 cents higher near the close.
A late rally and new contract highs
in soyoil provided the impetus for

and Tunisia had bought veg oil and
that Morocco would soon be fol
lowing suite. The January option
gained 7-3/4 cents and closed at
$6.13 after posting a low early in
the session of $6.03. A lower open
ing was dictated by long liquida
tion and position evening in front
of tomorrow’s USDA report.
ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures settled from 2-3/4 to
4 cents higher on a late short cover
ing rally which was attributed to
ideas that tomorrow’s USDA
report would reveal a reduction in
