GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading, with wheat solidly higher. However, the bulls now appear to be getting tired at higher price levels. Remember that these markets are very mature bull markets and are ripe for at least a significant downside "correction" soon. Heading into the end of the year, it would not surprise me to see some profits taken off the table by the bulls who have big winning positions.
