Crops drying down fast but markets can’t rally

Corn, soybeans and wheat all posted losses last week and were not propped up by the hot dry forecast for the long Labor Day weekend.

A good rain bringing up river levels could bring price support. Russia and Turkey met over the weekend to discuss a reopening the grain corridor, but the markets really could care less right now. Southern Brazil and Northern Argentina got some heavy rain over the weekend which could be putting a little more pressure on these markets overnight. For today,

We will use 4.75 & 13.60 for support and 4.88 & 14.05 as resistance. NFC Grain Comments Options -9.5.23
