GRAINS
Prices were lower in overnight trading, on the continued sell off in crude oil futures and worries about U.S. consumer demand amid economic weakness. Weather forecasts for the Corn Belt is now being watched even more closely as some forecasters say there is a chance for oppressive heat in the region next week--right during corn pollination. Corn is still near-term technically weak, but beans have not seen any significant chart damage. Wheat futures are still in a near-term bearish technical mode.
