“Corn futures were boosted overnight by technically-driven short covering despite beneficial rains in the western Corn Belt,” said The Brock Report. “Wheat futures are at 8- to 9-session highs on support from a drop in the U.S. winter wheat crop rating and hot, dry weather in some of China’s key winter wheat provinces. Soybean futures showed limited movement overnight and ended narrowly mixed with strong U.S. planting progress remaining a negative market factor.”
