Market Commentary: Wheat rebounded modestly to finish the day in the black, while corn was today's laggard finishing the day slightly down in the front months. This afternoon the USDA corn planting progress came in at 71% vs. 60-65% expected as farmers utilized the reasonable planting weather the prior week. With rumblings that corn crops may be down 2 to 4 million acres coupled with a potential yield loss of 6% to 8% may have contributed to the support of the corn market. The 6 to 10 day forecast calls for rain in much of the Upper Midwest which may affect the continued planting progress. Wheat planting progress came in at 67%, 9 points shy of the five year average. News that Saudi Arabia's wheat harvest could drop by 80 tmt to 700 tmt for 2013 contributed to the midday rebound. The Northwest continued to see winter wheat conditions deteriorate over the past week falling 4% in Washington and 3% in Oregon into the good from excellent categories. Technically, CME July wheat nearby support is $6.70 and resistance is $7.30. SWW cash bids steady.
