GRAINS
Prices were mixed in overnight trading. Wheat was firmer and corn and soybeans were weaker. Today's weekly USDA export sales report will be closely scrutinized by traders. A key for all grain futures traders for the near term is to keep a close eye on the Minneapolis spring wheat futures market. This smaller market has led the wheat futures higher recently, and wheat has led the grains recently. Any significant weakening in the Minneapolis wheat futures market could well have a domino effect in the grains. Grain traders will also continue to look to the key "outside markets" gold and crude oil for direction.
