Grain markets steady as rains aid futures, silver volatile
Wheat corn and soybean futures halted declines after short covering as heavy Midwest rains supported prices. Livestock futures recovered from earlier losses amid relief over weak demand and a stalled independent trucker strike. A seven state cattle on feed report showed 10 percent fewer cattle on feed as of May 1 with April feed up 1 percent. Silver remained volatile amid global political and inflation concerns with a 50 cent per ounce trading range. Domestic silver stocks rose nearly 2 million ounces to 95.5 million.
