DTN's Quick Takes

By DTN Analysts

Grains

OMAHA (DTN) -- May corn is up 2 3/4 cents and May soybeans are up 5 3/4 cents. May KC wheat is up 5 1/2 cents, May Chicago wheat is up 4 3/4 cents, and May MIAX Minneapolis wheat is down 1/4 cents. May crude oil is up $3.30 and Dow Jones futures are down 303 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.13 and April gold is down $55.70. Row-crop futures are steady to moderately higher on the open Sunday evening. To start the week, all eyes will again be on the energy sector as the war in the Middle East enters its second month. After a risk-off session to begin last week, WTI crude oil futures rose to their highest close of the war thus far on Friday and are back over $100 per barrel. Traders will at least briefly shift focus to grain fundamentals on Tuesday with the release of USDA's Prospective Plantings and Grain Stocks reports, with the latter expected to show very comfortable U.S. grain reserves, especially for corn. Producer planting intentions will also shed light on the severity of fertilizer costs and influences on producer field level decisions this spring.
