Market Closes - May 31, 2016

Posted on May 31, 2016

Most CBOT futures were down sharply, led lower by the Chicago Wheat market. Improving (drier) weather forecasts pressured the markets in addition to the stronger US Dollar and end-of-month profit-taking. Futures were stronger overnight but headed south when trading reopened at 830 am.  Wheat futures fell back near last week’s lows.  USDA’s weekly report shows the corn crop in similar shape as it was a year ago.
