Wet weather is one reason the grain market is rebounding. It was a wet, cold week in a lot of places in the U.S. Corn may be advanced to 82% planted in this afternoon's crop progress report, with emergence at 52%. 

The wet weather is also supporting wheat, which is getting rain in areas where not needed and in areas ready for harvest.

And soybeans may need to be replanted because of too much rain.

The dollar continues to weaken, which is putting strength into the commodities in general.

Third, crude oil is one of those commodities benefitting from a weaker dollar. At the OPEC meeting Thursday, OPEC nations are expected to continue production cuts into next year. Those cuts will be offset by drillers in the U.S. cranking up shale oil operations.
