The markets closed bearish on Friday and starting a fresh week, they are trying to hold. If soybeans can finish higher today, it will be a bullish reversal on the charts. Wheat is also selling today and traders attention is continuing to follow spring weather on the southwestern Plains.

There's a vacuum of data for the next couple of weeks as USDA prepares for the March 30 Planting Intentions report.
