At midmorning, all of the grain and soy markets, with the exception of bean oil, have firmed up. Bean oil is likely being pressured by the fading crude oil market with spot oil now down over $3.30. Equities are soaring on the prospect that we could be nearer to at least a memorandum of understanding with Iran. We shall see if that comes to fruition.
