Afternoon Comments 05/22
After opening weakly, corn futures surged Wednesday. First came the daily grain report indicating private exporters had sold 540,000 tonnes of new crop corn to China and other unknown destinations. That was followed by the weekly Energy Information Administration report showing ethanol production accelerated last week. These suggest underlying corn demand remains strong despite the elevated cost. July corn jumped 18.5 cents to $6.185/bushel by the Wednesday close, while December climbed 10.25 cents to $5.305.
