DTN Midday Grain Comments 02/25 10:46 Corn Futures Lower at Midday Wednesday; Soybeans Higher; Wheat Mixed Corn futures are 1 to 2 cents lower at midday Wednesday; soybean futures are 6 to 7 cents higher; wheat futures are narrowly mixed. David M. Fiala DTN Contributing Analyst MARKET SUMMARY: Corn futures are 1 to 2 cents lower at midday Wednesday; soybean futures are 6 to 7 cents higher; wheat futures are narrowly mixed. The U.S. stock market is firmer at midday with the S&P 40 points higher. The U.S. Dollar Index is 7 points higher. The interest rate products are mixed. Energy trade is flat with crude off .20 and natural gas is off .01. Livestock trade is firmer with hogs leading. Precious metals are mixed with gold 60.00 lower. CORN: Corn futures are narrowly mixed overnight with trade touching resistance again before fading as the recent range remains intact. Outside markets have energies firmer, metals firmer, and the dollar flat. Weekly ethanol production is expected to hold the upper end of the range with stocks a bit bigger. Basis will likely see little near-term change into March delivery. New-crop price ratios have stabilized more in recent days. On the March chart, resistance is the 20-day moving average at $4.29, which we faded back from, with support the lower Bollinger Band at $4.24. SOYBEANS: Soybean futures are flat to a penny higher with trade again fading from another fresh high edged to overnight. Meal is 1.00 to 2.00 higher and oil is 10 to 20 points lower. Brazil harvest will roll along with the north slowed a little with rains and little change in Argentina. Basis will likely remain flat as shipping slowed a bit. On the March chart, support is $11.12, where we find the 20-day moving average, with the fresh high at $11.49 as resistance. WHEAT: Wheat futures are 1 to 4 cents lower with trade fading a little further off the upper end of the range with little fresh news to encourage buyers as we consolidate the recent gains. Weather for the Plains looks to stay warmer after the brief cool down with better moisture for the north into March. Matif wheat is lightly weaker to start as well. On the KC March chart, support is the 20-day moving average at $5.44, which we bounced from, with resistance the fresh high at $5.78 1/2.
