Periodic Updates on the Grains, Livestock Futures Markets
OMAHA (DTN) -- March corn is up 1/4 cent per bushel, March soybeans are up 11 cents, March KC wheat is up 1/4 cent, March Chicago wheat is down 3/4 cent and MIAX March Minneapolis wheat is down 2 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 53.50 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.070 and March crude oil is down $0.38 per barrel. April gold is down $43.70 per ounce. After a pretty uneventful February WASDE report, corn and wheat remain mixed in slow trade while the soy complex continues to show solid gains as traders remain optimistic that China could buy more U.S. beans. Even though U.S. soy export sales and inspections are running much lower than expectations, USDA left the soy balance sheet unchanged, leaving the door open for future demand.
