Grains Setback After Early Market Highs
Chicago August 18 The grains moved higher at first with corn oats and rye hitting season highs but soon reversed as heavy fund selling amid high commission margins offset new buying. Weather remained cool and forecasts suggested warmer conditions later, keeping prices volatile. Wheat weakened after reports of no frost in Canada, with December and September futures sliding from intraday peaks. Provisions steadied despite lower hog quotes due to corn strength.
