On the corn front, yesterday’s Export Sales number was weak. Other pressuring factors to the market was talk of rain showers in most of the Midwest. There are traders who do not believe in those forecasts. Other weather models were talking about hot and dry weather in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Iowa. In the overnight electronic session the December corn is currently trading at 560 ½ which is ¾ of a cent lower. The trading range has been 565 to 556.
