Markets Mixed at Month End. Friday, Feb. 28, 2025
Shortly before 9:00 a.m. CT, May corn was down 1¢ at $4.80 per bushel.
May soybeans were 4¾¢ higher at $10.42 per bushel.
Don Roose, president of U.S. Commodities said, “It’s first notice day on the grain and the bull attitude continues to fade. Funds are still huge longs in the corn, liquidating at the end of the month rather than buying. The bottom line this week was the outlook forum we had [Thursday and Friday], it kind of continued to put a negative shield over the top of this market because ending stocks were going up, acres going up, and prices going down.”
May wheat contracts saw a mixed trade starting off the day. CBOT wheat was 4½¢ more at $5.67 per bushel. KC wheat dropped 1¢ at $5.84¼¢ per bushel. Minneapolis wheat was up 1¢ at $6.05¾¢ per bushel.
