Row crop markets are mixed to begin the shortened trading week with soybeans slightly lower amid technical pressure after three straight positive closes to finish last week. The market to watch for the week may very well be winter wheat, with cold temperatures through the weekend potentially causing some crop issues, and with more freeze risk ahead for later this week. The March Kansas City board is attempting to break out of technical resistance at its 100-day moving average to begin the week. Lastly, corn may remain sluggish from a fundamental standpoint, still feeling the weight of last week's bearish surprise from USDA on top of what was already a concerning supply outlook. That being said, there are weather concerns in Argentina the market may begin to take notice of, along with positive influence likely coming from the wheat market.
