Jack Scoville, PRICE Futures Group vice-president, says that it seems to be mostly spec-selling that is controlling today's markets, in anticipation of bearish reports from USDA in corn and wheat tomorrow. "Plus, the lack of progress on the fiscal cliff.  And, the weather in South America is getting better, a lot drier finally in Argentina and rains for most of Brazil at one point or another.  So, crop ideas will hold in South America.  It is generally pretty quiet.  Not much commercial action from the US from me, did small selling from Brazil," Scoville says.
