After breaking support on price charts markets are trying to stabilize today. While the mood on outside markets darkened a bit following yesterday’s run to record highs on Wall Street, the news flow for crops is better. Export sales of both corn and wheat were noted overnight to go along with a positive report on export inspections Tuesday. Traders are also waiting for USDA’s annual outlook conference to begin Thursday, when the agency will update its forecast for 2017 acreage.
