GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading, with wheat leading the way with sharp gains. In corn and beans, focus will now turn more to demand instead of supply. Corn and bean bulls need some fresh bullish fundamental inputs. Wheat bulls continue strong amid strong worldwide demand and still no solid technical clues that a near-term top is close at hand. Traders will closely scrutinize this morning's USDA weekly export sales data, which should favor the bulls.
