The CBOT had a wide-ranging assortment of closing prices as the July contracts came under heavy selling pressure during the day session with most prices settling near the day’s lows.  The July soybean and soybean meal contracts were hit hard as traders unwound bull spreads on declining export demand. New-crop corn futures were supported by continued weather concerns in the NW quadrant of the Corn Belt. Still December Corn ended 15 cents below the overnight highs. The December Corn has an upside gap on the chart which is friendly if it’s maintained tomorrow. Rains in Canada and prospects for some in the Dakotas late week pressured the MGEX spring wheat.
