Afternoon Comments 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 were probably moving to the sidelines before the long holiday weekend. Resurrected talk of rainfall over the northern Plains and the Great Lakes region may have supported deferred futures. July corn slipped 4.75 cents to $6.5725/bushel at its Friday close, while December bounced 1.75 cents to $5.365.
