A quiet grain market overnight roared back to life shortly before 4 a.m. this morning. These early pops are not unusual, sometimes indicating a move by a fund or reaction to a news headline. Today’s jump happened after reports Russia plans to regulate grain prices, triggering worries that could lead to lower exports, a concern that’s surfaced from time to time over the fall and winter but never materialized. Outside markets also moved higher around the world today, buoyed by the hopes of a breakthrough in the trade war between the U.S. and China ahead of Monday’s market closing for observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
