Corn futures climb this week on fear this fall’s harvest will be impacted by Midwest floods reducing the size of the crop. Farmers are not able to get into their fields to plant and the forecast calls for more wet weather.
One account says Grain futures markets gave “[exploded] higher as of late based off late planting figures,” said Jason Rotman, president of Lido Isle Advisors. The futures and options brokerage executive said fewer crops have been planted than usual, “and wheat and corn are exploding higher.”
“The market is very short these markets so don’t be surprised to see continued rallies in wheat and corn,” he said, adding that “there is still a big surplus of soybeans.”
Ethanol futures moved higher as well.
