GRAINS
Prices were higher in overnight trading, amid solid gains overnight in the key “outside markets” like gold and crude. The U.S. dollar is also weaker, which is bullish for grains at present. Wheat bears still have some downside technical momentum, and if wheat sees sharp losses today, then corn and soybeans will find gains limited.
