Wyckoff's Intra-Day Market Rating: 5.0
GRAINS
Prices were mixed to firmer in overnight trading. Corn and soybeans were firmer and wheat was lower. Traders will closely examine today's weekly USDA export sales data. The key "outside markets" are bearishly postured for the grains early today. Gold and crude oil are lower and the U.S. dollar is solidly higher. That should limit the upside in grains in the early going today. Grain traders are still watching weather in the U.S. Corn Belt and Plains states, which is still deemed overall bullish for corn but slightly bearish for soybeans and wheat.
