GRAINS
Prices were mixed to lower in overnight trading. Corn and soybeans were lower and wheat was slightly higher. Today the key "outside markets" are near steady. Any bigger moves in those outside markets after this morning's jobs report will likely influence the grains today. Grain traders are still watching weather in the U.S. Corn Belt. The wet conditions in the Corn Belt are persisting and that is still bullish for corn and modestly bearish for soybeans.
