Grain futures are starting to gain some traction today, posting modest gains in what’s been a fairly quiet overnight session so far. Corn, soybeans and wheat battled support levels on price charts Tuesday, with the market attracting a little buying today after USDA Crop Progress report showed slower than expected harvest and winter wheat seeding. Crude oil futures are trying to hold above $55 after losing more than 25% of their value.
