Wheat may benefit from inter-market spread liquidation activity, but rally energy will be limited. Overall conditions are poised for price weakness to evolve during the next few weeks. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Corn is quietly higher on further reminders of production woes with yesterday's crop rating data. News is limited. Technical conditions warn of a significant liquidation threat. Fundamental focus is on Friday's USDA data. Traders are universally bullish. We are vulnerable to liquidation pressures expanding before Friday's report. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Soybeans recovered part of yesterday's losses overnight. News is limited. Technical conditions will build selling interest and limit any ability to build momentum to the overnight strength. Overall conditions warn of expanding liquidation pressures and price declines well below yesterday's lows. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
