• Starting the week off in the green with corn the leader of the day
• Supply concerns linger as demand continues to be strtong 
• Brazils safrinha corn weather outlook remains mostly dry this week
• Expecting some pretty substantial planting progress to be reported later this afternoon as the U.S. had mostly decent planting weather last week 
• Commodities markets such as oil, copper and soybeans (along with several other metals and ag goods) are seeing their steepest inverse in prices since at least 2007 – reflecting the worlds strong demand for raw materials 
  • Generally further out contracts are more valuable as they reflect the cost to store the goods – however in tight supply high demand times such as this the opposite becomes true as the markets scream to get the products to them as soon as possible
