DTN's weekly review of grains and softs reports the July 2018 oats contract closed at $2.36, down 5.5 cents on the week, and July rice closed at $12.99 after a new high of $13.215. Cotton and coffee were also lower on the week, with technical chart patterns discussed.
The analysis is routine chart commentary with no new fundamental cause. Rice and oats are not major feed price drivers here.
