Good Morning,
Markets are starting the day lower with corn down 2 and soybeans down 1. USDA S&D numbers will be released at 11am this morning and estimates are for higher stocks in all three major commodities. (see estimates below) To see what the uphill climb prices face, we not only have to look at US stocks, but world stocks.
