National Grain Market Summary:

Compared to last week, cash bids for wheat were mixed, corn, sorghum, and soybeans were lower. Soybeans are under bearish pressure this week from concerns of global trade disputes and news that China will be opening its government reserves of soybeans. Favorable weather and crop conditions may also be contributing to the bearish tone this week for corn and soybeans. US energy department said ethanol production for week ending June 1st totaled 1.041 million barrels per day, unchanged compared to the week prior.

Last week’s export sales and shipments totaled 33 million and 57 million bushels of corn, with soybean totals at 6.1 million and 19 million bushels. Wheat was mixed from 4 cents lower to 1 cent higher. Corn was 14 3/4 to 26 3/4 cents lower. Sorghum was 30 to 35 cents lower. Soybeans were 40 1/4 to 55 1/4 cents lower.
