Friday July 31st, 2009

Commodities posted modest gains again today as the dollar continued it's lower slide followed by a rebound in crude oil. On the day funds bought 4,000 contracts of corn and 2,000 contracts of soybeans. Tight soy supplies and big Chinese demand continue to add support to the soybean market. Some light rains are seen across the belt the second half of next week. Totals look a bit lower than the AM run was showing. Bigger rains are expected across the belt late in the weekend and early on next week and this is wetter than what the AM run was showing due to the ridge not being as strong.
