As we follow the money the U.S Dollar is weaker this morning, Crude is down, and grains continue to see strength.

 

Corn – Anxiously awaiting the crop condition report later this afternoon.  It seems soil moisture is good and weather turns warmer moving forward.  Favorable weather looking forward  is not fundamentally favorable for corn.  Corns negativity over the past couple of weeks has reversed, but back into the range bound range talked about late April/early May.  The good news is on June 3rd we clearly broke the down trend with respect to the “trend line” hopefully this will keep corn steady for a while, we can always hope for a rally as well.

Beans

Bean Planting continues nearing 80%, heavy moisture in Missouri, Iowa, and portions of Nebraska and Kansas could cause some talk of preventative plant acres which remains to be seen.
