“Grain and soybean futures mostly managed small gains in cautious early trading, but corn futures have slipped into the red amid harvest pressure since reopening,” The Brock Report said this morning. “A strong dollar has been a negative market factor as well, but soybean futures have managed modest gains on renewed short covering, and wheat futures have also edged higher on short covering.” 

Bob Linneman, a commodities broker with Kluis Commodity Advisors, said the USDA is not expected to release the weekly Crop Progress report today due to the ongoing government shutdown.

“Traders think harvest progress is rolling along and should be closing in on the 30% mark soon for corn and soybeans,” he said.
