Additionally, May soymeal increased $4.00 and closed at $334.40/st, and May corn rose $0.0925 to $4.38/bu. The grain market climbed today as traders finalized their positions ahead of the highly anticipated World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report from USDA. Wheat prices faced a slight decline, while corn prices showed minor gains following a round of technical buying and short-covering. Soybean prices followed the uptrend in other commodities, displaying double-digit gains.
