Morning Comments 06/19
After rallying strongly to start this week, corn futures slipped in Tuesday night trading. The decline was partly a reaction to the preceding gains and partly a response to favorable growing conditions across the Corn Belt. Some traders also expressed concerns about a market reaction if/when the Federal Reserve backs away from its current policy of extreme liquidity after its two-day meeting ends today. July corn dipped 3.25 cents to $6.70/bushel early Wednesday morning, while December slid 0.75 cent to $5.4975.
