Grain Markets Find Support Ahead of WASDE, While Cattle Fundamentals Remain a ConcernCorn and soybeans are picking up some pricing interest ahead of Tuesday’s WASDE report, but uncertainty over the size of the soybean crop remains a concern. Export demand is improving, while Brazil’s increased ethanol production raises questions about what it could mean for that country’s export outlook.
