DTN Closing Grain Comments 05/28 13:44
Corn and Soy Complex Rise Thursday; KC Wheat Falls for Sixth Straight Day
Corn, soybeans and soy products finished firm on Thursday with Kansas City
wheat down for a sixth consecutive day and all three wheat markets lower. July
corn was able to bounce above the major support area of $4.50, and July beans
likewise stayed above the $11.80 area. There was a dearth of news as traders
await a solid peace plan with Iran and the return of China to U.S. ag markets.
News sources indicate a memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been reached with
Iran for a 60-day extension of the ceasefire and nuclear negotiations to
continue, but is awaiting presidential approval.
