This week the CBOT had seen many of the prices fall due to a stronger dollar, falling crude oil prices, and good crop growing conditions in South America.
Plentiful global supplies and a firm dollar weigh on wheat, but rumors of the market being oversold and the price break this week have landed it some support today. The U.S. winter wheat region has sufficient soil moisture and no threat of cold in the near forecast..
The soybeans had a small technical bounce after plunging to three month lows this week. Firm cash soymeal market and fresh sales to China add support, but the continued good growing conditions in South America overshadow any good news the U.S. has.
The precious metals have seen falling prices this week as well as the grains because of the stronger dollar and falling crude oil.
The weather on the Grand Prairie has been moderate this week. We have had some rain showers, but some sunny days to go along with those. The five day forecast looks the same with some partly cloudy days with slight chances of rain, but a couple of sunny days in there also to even it out.
