This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, October 24th Grain traders were busy on Monday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey ...

Virginia McGathey ... "Corn was surging today. The futures rally ahead of the USDA crop progress report that's coming up. The yield numbers have been here yet and we're still looking to kind of get the market off the ground because it has been kind of low. But, technically, the trend still is lower so there is some vulnerability so it seems the market has kind of stalled out as did the wheat market as well. Wheat did jump up, you know, there was a big short-covering. That gave futures a big lift with the weather the way it has been and disrupting some of the fall planting for the winter wheat. So, that's helping that market. And, finally, all three are off the ground and we'll see what happens with this crop progress report and we expect volatility to be on the forefront, certainly for the next week or so."
