GRAINS
Prices were mostly lower in overnight trading. Beneficial rains have fallen over the previously dry eastern Corn Belt the past few days. That has pressured the markets lower and done some chart damage. Bulls this week need to step up. Another down week this week would produce serious chart damage to begin to suggest major market tops are in place. All eyes will be on updated weather forecasts at midday. Remember that weather markets in the grains can repair chart damage in a hurry.
