FUTURES MARKET TRENDS
ffgfgjp GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK
ACRES CORN
UPDATE: Com futures settled lower
today from 1-1/2 cents on the front option to
3-1/2 on the March 1989. Weakness today
came on concerns over the larger than
expected amounts of readily available com
amid heavy purchases of CCC com slocks
coupled with active producer loan redemp
tions Long liquidation and the unwinding
of Dec/May and Dec/July bear spreads
added further pressure Higher basts levels
and light farmer movement provided
needed support. Generic Certificate bids
were steady today.
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybeans closed lower
from 3-3/4 lower on the May option to 9
cents lower on the May 89 option Selling
throughout the session was in response to
heavy long liquidation with added pressure
stemming from an increase in farmer sales
Strength in the cash market and increases in
Brazilian export premiums limited further
price deterioration. Buying was linked to
