Grains

OMAHA (DTN) -- Posted 12:47 -- March corn is down 3 1/4 cents per bushel, January soybeans are down 10 cents, March KC wheat is down 6 1/2 cents, March Chicago wheat is down 10 3/4 cents and MIAX March Minneapolis wheat is down 0.0300 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 275.96 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.130 and January crude oil is down $1.30 per barrel. February gold is up $4.70 per ounce. Heading into the Tuesday close it's a sell-a-thon for grain and soy futures markets. Chicago and Minneapolis wheat fell to new contract lows. January soybeans filled the open chart gap from Oct. 24, and March corn is flirting with key support at $4.35 after already falling slightly under the 100-day moving average. Markets are starting to get oversold.

Posted 10:40 -- March corn is down 3 1/2 cents per bushel, January soybeans are down 8 3/4 cents, March KC wheat is down 6 cents, March Chicago wheat is down 11 1/2 cents and MIAX March Minneapolis wheat is down 0.0275 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 250.85 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.200 and January crude oil is down $1.45 per barrel. February gold is down $8.30 per ounce. At midmorning it is surely a risk-off day with soybeans, wheat and corn under serious pressure. Chicago wheat is a half-cent from the contract low and January beans have succeeded in filling the open chart gap from late October. March corn is teetering just above a key support level at $4.35 after already having fallen below the 100-day average.

Posted 08:37 --March Chicago wheat is down 8 cents and MIAX March Minneapolis wheat is down 0.0175 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 10.29 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.310 and January crude oil is down $1.29 per barrel. February gold is up $25.50 per ounce. Corn, soybeans and wheat are all lower early Tuesday with soybean oil down hard on the heels of crude oil weakness and higher stocks. Contrary to expectations, there were no new flash sales of soybeans to China early Tuesday. March corn is resting a half-cent above the 100-day moving average with a close below likely bearish.
