Prices are steady to a little lower this morning, with quiet trading noted as the market waits for USDA’s March supply and demand report due out at 11 a.m. CT. Only minor changes are expected to the government’s forecasts today. Outside markets should provide some support. Stock indexes turned higher in Europe after losses in Asia, while crude oil is above $37 a barrel despite likely bearish inventory data today.
