Market Closes - October 11, 2016

Posted on Oct 11, 2016

CBOT futures closed steady to slightly higher ahead of tomorrow’s USDA Crop Production and WASDE reports.  A very strong US Dollar and weaker crude oil futures weighed on prices as did disappointing weekly export inspections for corn and wheat; soybean inspections were strong. As of Sunday, corn and soybean harvest is slightly behind the 5-year average.
