DTN Closing Grain Comments 09/02 13:48 Corn, Soybeans Stabilize a Bit; Gulf Export Halt Continues Corn and Soybeans have plunged for much of the week, spurred on by good finishing rains and the untimely and tragic arrival of Hurricane Ida. The damage from Ida had impacted export terminals and led to widespread power outages, halting all export activity and pressuring basis bids. Thursday featured a more stable to slightly higher market, but buyers of futures and cash are still cautious.
