Friday's Markets Relatively Quiet
I'm KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for Monday, June 19th. With an update on Friday's market here is Avondale Brokers' Bob DaltonDalton: "Markets are relatively quiet. Corn had about a 4 to 4 and 1/2 cent range new crop. Soybeans also not a very large range. Wheat, however, is continuing to push higher and is testing some significant resistance points. Over in the livestock cattle market it is pretty quiet after a very somber trade week in both the fats and feeders as we've seen a cash drop in the futures prices have followed suit."
