Morning Comments 05/20
The tight old crop situation seemed to boost old crop corn futures Sunday night. The fact that the nearby July contract closed decisively above its 40-day moving average on Friday probably sparked follow-through buying as well. Conversely, the deferred contracts declined, thereby seeming to reflect improved prospects for Corn Belt planting during the days ahead. July corn rose 4.0 cents to $6.5675/bushel early Monday morning, while December dipped 1.5 cents to $5.18.
