Dally National
Grain Market
Summary
St. Joseph, MO
May 7,2003
Report Supplied By USDA
Wheat, com, and soybeans traded
moderate to sharply higher, while soy
beans were slightly lower. The reason for
the higher wheat trade was the Egyptian
purchase of red winter and white soft
wheat. Light fund buying in the com pits
and wet weather in the corn-belt was
noted supporting the market, along with
a stronger wheat trade. Not much con
cern for planting delays as over half the
com crop is on the ground at this point.
Very slow activity in the soybean pits with
a lack of fresh news. Wheat was 5-9 cents
higher, except for exports from the gulf
which was 11-14 cents higher. Corn 3-5
cents higher. Sorghum was steady to 9
cents higher. Soybeans mostly 2-3 cents
lower.
