ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures settled from 3/4 cents
lower to 1/2 cent higher today.
Prices generally were steady to
lower throughout the session, but
spillover strength from the soy
bean and wheat pits in the closing
moments lent support to com. The
export demand factor still provides
support along with no appreciable
increase in cash movement. Yes
terday’s neutral Supply and
Demand report kept today’s activi
ty lackluster and March finally
touched $2.04 but failed to hold as
profits were taken. Generic certifi
cate bids remain in the 104 to
105% area.

UPDATE: Soybeans settled from
3/4 to 3 cents higher in last minute
buying after an other wise dull and
featureless session. Stronger cash
fundamentals provided support for
the front months along with light
farmer selling. Yesterday’s Supply
and Demand report proved to be
neutral with a steady opening this
morning.
Oil was under pressure from dis
appointing export news. March
gained 3 cents and closed out at
$6.12-3/4 after hitting a low of
$6.07 early in the session.
ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures closed from 1-4 to 4
cents higher this afternoon as a late
short covering rally boosted prices

to daily highs. Export rumors have
resurfaced that China was back in
the market, but it remains to be
seen if their purchases will be hard
or soft red. Selling throughout the
session was attributed to the
issuance of the new CCC catalog
which will make over 302 million
bushels available. Support came
from the 100 million bushel
decrease in the carryout figures
and follow through from yester
day’s closes. March closed today
at $3.30-3/4 down 1/4 cent after
trading at $3.31-3/4 earlier in the
session.
