Sea of Red in Grain Markets Thursday

Sea of Red in Grain Markets Thursday

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for May 16, 2014.
On Thursday all grains suffered double-digit losses with warmer weather for corn planting returning to the forecast. From the floor of the CME Group Chris Robinson shares his observations of Thursday’s markets.Robinson: “Today, just a sea of red in the grains. We were led overnight lower by corn. Corn traded to a seven-week low. It was a key movement in both July corn and Decs corn. If you look at the lows from January to the recent highs — we had an 82 cent rally in July corn. We came back at least half way back today on the break. Typical story — It takes three months to make 82 cents and we drop half of it in the last five or six days. July wheat — in the past six sessions we’ve lost 64 cents.”Chicago July Wheat ended Thursday down 12 cents at 6-78 and 1/4. July corn ended the day down 11 and 1/4 cents at 4-84 and 1/4.?Portland prices for soft white wheat were down 10 to 12 cents at mostly 7-55 and 1/2. White club wheat prices were down 10 to 12 cents at mostly 8-00 and 1/2. Hard Red Winter wheat with 11.5 percent protein prices were down 27 and 1/2 to 32 and 1/4 cents at mostly 8-56 and 3/4. DNS wheat with 14 percent protein prices were down 23and 1/2 cents at mostly 8-88.?June live cattle were down a nickel on Thursday at 137-40.
