It’s more of the same in the grain market today: Soybeans edged higher overnight while corn and wheat pulled back again. Concerns about dry weather in Argentina continue to drive short covering in soybeans, which are testing targets on price charts. Stocks traded higher overnight until a snap selloff around 5 a.m. that didn’t appear to be triggered by any new headlines, though investors remain cautious new tariffs on solar panels and washing machines could ratchet up trade friction.
