Grain markets sold off across the board overnight, resuming last week’s bearish tone on forecasts for decent rains and much cooler weather over the next two weeks.

End-of-the-month position squaring could come into play today, but expect the market to spend much of this week debating what USDA could report in its key Aug. 10 estimates.
