Comments: Corn futures sold off sharply on Friday under pressure from a stronger dollar and improving crop weather after Tuesday's USDA supply/demand report lowered projected 2009-10 ending stocks as expected. Wheat futures came under heavy pressure from fund long liquidation spurred by the firmer dollar and a continued lack of export demand heading into the main U.S. winter wheat harvest period. Soybean futures found further support from tight supplies as USDA lowered its ending stocks estimates, but were hit with profit taking on Friday as the dollar rallied. Livestock futures remained under pressure from weak meat demand and fund liquidation, while cotton futures held on to modest gains after dollar weakness spurred buying at midweek.
