Ag markets moved mostly higher Thursday
Rising Black Sea tensions supporting the grain markets. Sources have proven that Russian forces are in eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile rebel forces have reportedly occupied the important port town of Mariupol, which may slow the flow of Ukrainian grain to the world market. Corn is less affected than wheat, but that region produces lots of corn as well. September corn rallied 5.75 cents to $3.6175/bushel Wednesday, while December added 4.25 to $3.6925.
Ag markets posted mixed closes ahead of Thursday's USDA reports
Traders were looking forward to Thursday’s USDA reports Wednesday. Expectations for a massive corn harvest have weighed heavily upon the market this summer. However, the possibility that tomorrow’s USDA Crop Production and WASDE reports will hold surprises apparently spurred short-covering ahead of their release. Thus, corn futures traded slightly higher. December corn futures closed up 1.5 cents to $3.4575/bushel Wednesday, while May rose 1.25 to $3.6675.
Surging soy, U.S. dollar quotes highlight Friday futures trading
Resurgent soybeans pulled corn higher Friday. Prospects for good early-November harvest weather and today’s big U.S. dollar jump pushed corn futures lower around midsession Friday. However, talk of extreme short-term tightness apparently powered the soy complex higher once again, which then pulled corn upward as well. December corn futures closed up 2.75 cents at $3.7675/bushel Friday, while May added 2.25 to $3.98.
Ag markets proved decidedly mixed Tuesday morning
Crop futures are reacting to the Export Inspections data. Talk of harvest delays and production losses appears to be supporting the corn market at this point. Prices got added support from the USDA Export Inspections report, since the corn total topped increased forecasts. Bulls hope to push December prices over their 40-day moving average, which might signal a trend change. December corn futures gained 1.25 cents to $3.4725/bushel late Tuesday morning, while May edged up 1.25 cents to $3.6875.
Crop futures firmed Monday
Corn futures followed the soy markets higher. The prospect of a huge fall crop has badly depressed corn futures, but prices rebounded in concert with the soy complex Monday. Talk of surging export demand for soybeans and dryer August weather is apparently supporting the markets. Traders were probably disappointed by the Export Inspections result, but futures acted well anyway. September corn gained 4.75 cents to $3.5775/bushel at their Monday close, while December rose 5.0 cents to $3.7675.
Crop markets generally strong at midday Monday
Corn futures have backed away from early highs around midsession Monday. The prospect of a huge fall crop has badly depressed corn futures, but prices are trying to rebound in concert with the soy complex. Talk of surging export demand for soybeans and dryer August weather is apparently supporting the markets, but traders were probably disappointed by the Export Inspections result. September corn gained 2.25 cents to $3.6525/bushel late Monday morning, while December rose 2.5 cents to $3.7425.

Ag markets began Wednesday's trading in mixed fashion
Favorable conditions continued depressing corn futures Tuesday night.
