GRAINS
Prices were mixed in overnight electronic trading. Corn was higher, wheat solidly higher and soybeans were weaker. Wheat has made a strong rebound as it appears near-term lows are in place. Corn bulls are also showing some strength to suggest near-term lows are in place. Soybeans are the weak sister of the complex. Seasonal studies do favor the corn and bean bears this time of year, as harvest is set to begin for those crops.
