MARKET SUMMARY:

   Corn futures are 8 to 9 cents lower at midday Friday; soybean futures are 10 
to 11 cents lower; wheat futures are 2 to 3 cents lower. The U.S. stock market 
is weaker with the S&P 38 points lower. The U.S. Dollar Index is 28 points 
higher. The interest rate products are weaker. Energy trade is mixed with crude 
.30 higher with natural gas .07 lower. Livestock trade is mostly higher. 
Precious metals are firmer with gold up 19.00.

CORN:

   Corn futures are 8 to 9 cents lower at midday with trade fading back to the 
middle of the recent range with choppy action likely to continue into the 
weekend with renewed tariff comments helping to pressure markets. Ethanol 
margins should continue to hold the recent range. Basis action is expected to 
show little short-term change. The December futures are showing little change 
versus November soybeans. On the March chart, the 20-day moving average at 
$4.85 is support, which we are just above at midday, with the fresh high at 
$4.98 1/2 as resistance.

SOYBEANS:

   Soybean futures are 10 to 11 cents lower at midday with rangebound action 
continuing as well with oil leading products this morning. Meal is 5.00 to 6.00 
lower and oil is 45 to 55 points higher. South America weather should keep some 
relief in play for Argentina with Brazil harvest rolling forward between rains. 
Basis should stabilize and remain more toward flat in the near term. On the 
March chart, trade has support at the 20-day moving average at $10.50, which we 
are testing at midday, with the fresh high at $10.79 3/4 the next level of 
resistance.

WHEAT:

   Wheat futures are 2 to 3 cents lower at midday with trade scoring fresh 
highs early overnight before fading with trade still consolidating the upper 
end of the range further. The Plains are expected to stay cool but not 
excessively cold with near-term moisture limited. MATIF wheat is slightly 
higher this morning near the upper end of the range as well. Black Sea cash 
offers continue to keep support in play as well. On the KC March chart, support 
is the 20-day moving average at $5.72 with the fresh high at $6.14 as 
resistance.
