GRAINS
Prices were lower in overnight trading, with corn and soybeans sharply lower. This week is historically one of the more important trading weeks of the year in the grains, and the bears are starting out in firm command. Weather in the U.S. Corn Belt is bearish heading into the key growing period of the summer. "Outside markets" today are also bearish--lower crude oil and a firmer U.S. dollar. Corn and soybeans are still overall bullish, technically, but the bulls are getting spooked this week. Wheat futures have turned technically bearish.
