GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading. All eyes will be on updated weather forecasts this morning and at midday. Here's the key for traders: Weather forecasts can and will flip-flop on near-term expectations for the Corn Belt. But key is to watch for a trend change in the weather patterns. Right now the overall weather trend in the Corn Belt remains in favor of the bulls. The fireworks this summer are not finished. Dips are still seen as buying opportunities in grains.
