GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading. Traders are again focusing on the important "outside markets" today, which are mostly bullish in early dealings. The U.S. dollar is weaker today and gold and crude oil prices are higher. My bias is still that the grains do not have a lot of upside price potential in the near term.
