Weekly Grain and Provision Review in Chicago May 7
In Chicago on May 7, speculative buying lifts corn by about 10 cents in 10 days with a single broker handling 1,000,000 bushels hourly. Wet weather delays planting and tight supplies push corn higher while wheat and oats gain. provisions fall. Traders expect demand from the south and west to draw on Chicago, with European imports influenced by shipping differences and weather. Persistent rain fuels fears of curtailed acreage and crop perils, while North American wheat remains in demand despite price bulges.
