Corn is flat at the start of today’s trade while soybeans are up a penny.

CBOT wheat is up 7¢. KC wheat is up 3¢. Minneapolis wheat is up 8¢.

“The volatility vanished in the grain and soybean futures markets overnight with futures sticking to relatively narrow price ranges in cautious trading,” says The Brock Report. “This suggests improved Corn Belt rains have now been factored into corn and soybean futures for now. Futures may continue to consolidate today with position evening ahead of tomorrow’s USDA Crop Acreage and Grain Stocks reports dominating trade.”

Grain Market Insider by Stewart-Peterson says a front that moved through Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois yesterday provided most areas with about 1/4 inch of rain.

“There is still significant rain in the five-day forecast with large amounts expected in the parts of Illinois that are the driest,” says the newsletter.

Crude oil is up 14¢.
