The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 403.53 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.530 and June crude oil is up $2.11 per barrel. June gold is up $101.20 per ounce. Heading into the Tuesday close, soybeans and soy products remain weak with bean oil leading the way down on uncertainty surrounding the biofuel policy. Wheat markets show a modest gain after testing contract lows in the past few days. Weather continues to be conducive to accelerated planting over the next 10 days.

Posted 10:32 -- July corn is up 1 3/4 cents per bushel, July soybeans are down 5 1/2 cents, July KC wheat is up 5 1/2 cents, July Chicago wheat is up 7 1/4 cents and July Minneapolis wheat is up 1/2 cent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 160.67 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.410 and June crude oil is up $2.39 per barrel. June gold is up $83.20 per ounce. At midmorning, soybeans and bean oil are under pressure while all three wheat markets are attempting a rally. Much of the crop progress data was bearish on Monday.

Posted 08:32 -- July corn is up 1/2 cent per bushel, July soybeans are down 6 1/4 cents, July KC wheat is steady, July Chicago wheat is up 2 1/4 cents and July Minneapolis wheat is down 2 1/4 cents.
