GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading. However, the key "outside markets" early today are in a bearish posture for the grains. Gold and crude oil are lower and the U.S. dollar is higher. That will limit the upside in the grains today. Grain traders are still watching weather in the U.S. Corn Belt. The wet conditions in the Corn Belt are very bullish for corn and modestly bearish for soybeans.
