Grains Get Boost From Focus on Argentinian Crops -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-24

1239 ET - CBOT grain futures are higher, with some traders looking to the status of row crops growing in Argentina. Rainfall is seen as limited in the country's growing areas, which may impact crop yields. "We are seeing more weather concern on Argentine crops with soybean ratings dropping for 2 straight weeks," says Karl Setzer of Consus Ag Consulting. "Corn yield is also being trimmed in Cordoba as well with limited rain in the forecast." How crops fare in South America is a driver for export market prices, in turn affecting CBOT grain futures. Corn rises 1.4%, soybeans climb 0.5%, and wheat is up 1.9%. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
