Grain futures tried to rebound a little overnight from Thursday’s sharp break, but selling into the start of trading in Europe stalled that effort. USDA’s forecasts for much larger than expected corn and soybean crops kept the market under pressure despite a host of questions about the accuracy of the numbers. Nervousness from outside markets isn’t helping the rally effort, either. Investors are headed to the sidelines across the world, bracing for a possible confrontation between the U.S. and North Korea.
