The Buzz: Hot Market

USDA's bullish report was met with a bearish reaction in the corn and soybean markets, but a recovery by wheat prices is helping trends stabilize. Rains this weekend could be a crucial turning point, with prices starting to work into selling ranges projected by Farm Futures Senior Editor Bryce Knorr: $7.20 to $8.30 December corn and  $15.30 to $16.75 November soybeans. Market analyst Arlan Suderman thinks the bean rally could top out sooner than normal, with South American growers already making sales and planning major expansion.
