GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading, with wheat leading gains. Corn and bean bulls have pretty much played out the bullish impact of flooding in the Corn Belt. Focus will now turn to demand instead of supply. Wheat bulls continue strong amid strong worldwide demand and still no solid technical clues that a near-term top is close at hand.
