Sea of Red in Grain Markets Tuesday

Better than expected weather from over the long weekend played a part in the down grain markets Tuesday. From the floor of the CME Group, Chris Robinson shares his observations of Tuesday’s markets.
Robinson: “Two and half lows — two fresh lows for both corn and wheat. Soybeans came under pressure but that’s after a great week last week. Traders maybe getting a little bit anxious because the planters are rolling. We have a Planting Progress Report out today at 3 p.m. We’ll see what impact that has with these markets. These funds are looking the weather forecast — just like everybody else — they have been betting on a on a weather issue and a supply shock. Over the next 14 to 21 days it really comes down to Mother Nature and the weather.”
