Afternoon Comments 05/20
Talk of greatly accelerated corn plantings last week and again during the days ahead probably depressed deferred corn futures Monday. The combination of U.S. dollar weakness and the supportive result of the weekly USDA Export Inspections report seemed bullish for the nearby July contract, but bulls proved unable to sustain early gains. We suspect its recent failure to top its 50-day moving average sparked technical sales. July corn fell 3.25 cents to $6.495/bushel Monday afternoon, while December rose 0.75 cents to $5.2025.
