MARKET SUMMARY:

   Corn futures are 10 to 11 cents lower at midday Monday; soybean futures are 
28 to 30 cents lower; wheat futures are 7 to 9 cents lower. The U.S. stock 
market is weaker with the S&P 40 points lower. The U.S. Dollar Index is 16 
points higher. The interest rate products are weaker. Energy trade is firmer 
with crude .95 higher and natural gas .04 higher. Livestock trade is firmer 
with cattle leading. Precious metals are weaker with gold off 18.00.

CORN:

   Corn futures are 10 to 11 cents lower at midday with ag commodities gapping 
lower out of the long weekend as near-term weather remains unthreatening and 
the next set of trade deadlines loom. Ethanol margins will see support from the 
weaker corn to start the day while unleaded firms a bit to help blenders. 
Short-term weather continues to show moisture for most with serious heat 
limited as we head into pollination. Weekly crop progress is likely to show 
steady to slightly better conditions with development in line with the 5-year 
average. The daily wire saw 135,000 metric tons (mt) sold to Mexico. Weekly 
export inspections remained strong at 1.491 million metric tons (mmt), with 
year-to-date pace holding at 130%. Basis looks to remain rangebound short term. 
On the September chart, the 20-day moving average at $4.19 is resistance, which 
we failed to consolidate above Friday, with the fresh low at $4.01 1/4 as 
support.

SOYBEANS:

   Soybean futures are 28 to 30 cents lower at midday with broad product 
weakness again with weather concerns remaining limited while we wait for the 
trade developments. Meal is 4.00 to 5.00 lower and oil 100 to 110 points lower. 
Weather should generally remain good for development in the short term. Weekly 
crop progress is likely to show slightly better conditions with progress just 
ahead of the 5-year average. Basis will likely remain flat in the short term. 
Weekly export inspections were in line seasonally at 389,364 metric tons (mt), 
keeping year-to-date pace at 111%. On the September chart, resistance is the 
20-day moving average at $10.32, which we gapped back below overnight, and the 
recent low at $10.05 3/4 as support.

WHEAT:

   Wheat futures are 7 to 9 cents lower at midday with a gap lower as well with 
harvest heading to the homestretch this week for winter wheats and spillover 
weakness keeping selling in place. The hard red wheat areas should continue to 
build momentum harvest wise as we should be nearly halfway done nationally on 
the weekly report. Spring wheat is slowly catching up with better recent 
weather and condition improvements expected along with development near the 
5-year average. MATIF wheat is lightly lower with the weaker euro adding 
support. Weekly export inspections showed some improvement at 436,628 mt, 
moving year-to-date pace to 101%. On the KC September chart, resistance is the 
20-day moving average at $5.47, with the lower Bollinger Band at $5.17 as 
support.
