GRAINS
Prices were lower overnight. This coming Friday is the big day for which traders have been waiting: the USDA Planting Intentions report. Look for high volatility on Friday, as it is virtually assured the report will be a surprise to some traders, as there is no real consensus on what intended planted corn and soybean acres will be forecast by USDA. Also, wet weather forecast for parts of the Corn Belt this week will limit selling interest in corn.
