Afternoon Comments 06/18
Tight old crop conditions seemed to support corn futures Tuesday morning, with wire service sources citing cash market strength, particularly in the western Corn Belt, for early CBOT gains. Meanwhile, concerns about the ultimate size of 2013/14 crop with summer heat looming apparently boosted the deferred contracts even more substantially. July corn closed 4.75 cents higher at $6.7325/bushel Tuesday afternoon, while December jumped 12.0 cents to $5.505.
