Midday Report 05/24
Corn futures performed well early this week, especially in the wake of the bearish Crop Progress report released Monday afternoon. Thus, it was not terribly surprising to see prices dip Friday morning, since lots of traders are probably moving to the sidelines over the long holiday weekend. Talk of accelerated plantings and equity market weakness may also have weighed upon prices. July corn slipped 2.0 cents to $6.60/bushel Friday morning; December also fell 2.0 cents to $5.3275.
