GRAINS
Prices were mixed in overnight trading, with corn lower, soybeans higher and wheat near unchanged. This week is historically one of the more important trading weeks of the year in the grains, and the bears winning the battle this week. How the corn and soybean markets close on Friday will be key for near-term price direction in those markets. Closes near the weekly low on Friday would be significantly bearish. Corn and bean traders are reacting to the latest weather forecasts for the Corn Belt, which at present favor the bearish camp. Wheat futures have turned more bearish this week. "Outside markets" today are bullish--higher crude oil and a weaker U.S. dollar.
