Mid-February can see a bit of a lull in the grain market. Big end-of-March USDA reports are seven weeks away. Lack of weather news around the world has traders focused on price charts, where corn and wheat ran into resistance. Soybeans face pressure from a record Brazilian crop. And today there’s added pressure from outside markets, where politics around the world are a concern. Markets are lower, but so far losses are limited.
