We mentioned on this report about a week and a half ago that it would take extended hot dry weather and a bullish Pro Farmer Crop Tour number to push December corn up to and past the 550 level. Now the corn rally is now two weeks old nearly uninterrupted as we begin the first day of September and the …
Pro Farmer crop tour numbers are well absorbed into the trade now as well as the weekly crop updates. Bottom line analysts suggest moving December corn futures higher will need new data.

Bottomline grain analysts suggest that commodity fund traders have been looking for any reason to go long in this market, and weather was the reason this week. Now, there’s a catch.
