Markets of all stripes are putting on their rally hats today. Soybeans lead grain markets higher on a shift back to hot, dry weather in Argentina, notching double digit gains overnight and pulling wheat and corn higher. U.S. stock indexes are also surging following Friday’s bullish reversal higher. A weaker dollar is helping commodities too, sending crude oil up $1 a barrel.
