TOP STORIES:
Grain, Soy Prices Close Lower as Dollar Gains
CHICAGO--Grain and soybean futures prices finished lower on Friday, weighed down by gains in the U.S. dollar and traders' moves to offset risk ahead of the Memorial Day weekend. Corn, wheat and soybeans all fell more than 1%, after the dollar rose on strong U.S. inflation numbers for April. Strength in the U.S. currency, which improved against the euro and Japan's yen, hurts export demand for U.S. agricultural commodities because it makes them more expensive for overseas buyers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's cattle-on-feed report released Friday showed around 1.548 million cattle, known as replacements, entered U.S. lots through the end of April, 5% below this time last year, when 1.623 million head were placed.
