  1. @JTradeFutures neither. It's 7pm. The CME wants to keep people on their toes.
  2. Wheat close 14-16 higher in Russian fears.
  3. Beans close higher but spreads get smacked on weekend profit taking. SN +5, SX +13.
  4. Corn popped slightly into the close. CN up 1, CZ +6.
  5. @cornbroker this the crazy environment we work in? No wonder I have anxiety issues!
  6. @Grainmonster agreed. Corn held the range low and options volatility is exploding as players look for coverage.
  7. @Grainmonster I would have thought so but weak basis and spread liquidation seems to be flavor of the day.
  8. @RealHuss noted. That's not normal.
  9. Corn trying to pave the bullish highway. Need to get above $5.90 to scare any weak shorts. Spreads modestly bullish.
  10. Beans hold in closing 15 higher in July and 18.5 higher in Nov. Wheat chops around closing 2 lower with a mild bear spread bias.
  11. CN got dismantled today down 25. CZ down only 8.5 as spread collapses to 64. Wow.
  12. @Weydert @barnmedia no fund that I've heard of but major spread move says something is going on.
  13. Con spreads getting hammered. Talk on floor that funds want to get short corn. Anyone else hearing this?
