US corn futures tumble after USDA boosts planting estimates

Chicago Mercantile Exchange grain prices fell on Friday June 28, with the July CME soybean futures contract decreasing by 1.75 cents per bushel to settle at $11.50 per bu and July soymeal dropping by $0.60 per short ton to $360.50 per ton.

Meanwhile, the July CME corn futures contract declined by 16.50 cents per bu to $3.97 per bu, and July wheat futures fell by 6.25 cents per bu to close at $5.53 per bu.

Grain markets were on a downtrend on Friday after the USDA’s highly anticipated updated acreage and stock reports were released. Corn and wheat prices fell the most following the release, while soybeans also took a hit, largely due to the downward pressure from corn and other commodities.
