The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 631.10 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.780 and June crude oil is down $2.75 per barrel. June gold is up $73.70 per ounce. At midmorning, soybean oil has reversed early weakness to trade higher and soybeans are inching toward unchanged. Corn and wheat remain under heavy selling pressure as those markets had reached overbought conditions. No new developments have been put forth on the Iran conflict situation.

Grain and soybean markets are down, led by wheat after large deliveries were tendered by commercial firms against the May contract on first delivery day. That has interrupted the recent rally in wheat fueled by falling conditions.
