“Corn and soybean futures were boosted slightly in lackluster overnight action by technically-driven short covering, but faded late in the early trading, with corn futures winding up lower and soybean contracts narrowly mixed,” says The Brock Report. “Ideas U.S. and world corn and soybean supplies are ample to meet demand kept pressure on futures. Wheat futures mostly posted further small losses under continued pressure from a lack of export demand for U.S. wheat amid Black Sea region wheat’s dominance of the world market.”

Crude oil is up 21¢.
