Grain futures are mixed this morning, turning a page on the calendar with mostly more of the same trade seen at the end of July. Soybeans posted double digit losses overnight after USDA reported improving conditions last week, keeping yield potential average. August weather maps show no threats to corn or soybeans, while forecasts for the next week turned wetter as well, adding to bearish pressure. Wall Street headed in the other direction. Stocks rallied around the world and the Dow looks ready to try for another new record on the opening bell today.
