Soybeans are still being pressured by expectations of good rain in Argentina mid-week and into the weekend. Beans fell below $10.20 for the first time since November 22 and has it sights set on the 50-day MA around $10.08. For corn, the 50-day MA is around $3.50 right around the $3.52 last trade. Brazil has widespread rains as well except for the far North where there is limited grain crop production.

In China, soybean futures also fell overnight, but hog margins continue to be strong. There was some interest in wheat buying as Taiwan and Egypt were tendering for wheat.
