GRAINS
Prices were solidly higher in overnight trading, amid higher "outside markets." Same story: The "outside markets" gold and crude oil, along with the U.S. dollar, will continue to dictate price movement in the grains. Soybeans are still the most bullish from a technical perspective at present, but corn bulls also have fresh upside technical momentum. In wheat, the bulls have regained solid near-term technical momentum recently.
