Grain, Soy Markets Crash Wednesday on Good Weather, Iran Peace Hopes
Corn and soybean futures led markets lower on Wednesday, pressured by a
favorable forecast over the next few weeks and some renewed optimism that
negotiators could be making some progress on an Iran peace deal. Bean oil
futures fell along with crude oil, which at the time of writing, was down more
than $6 per barrel.
