Grain futures are trading mostly a little higher headed into the final 90 minutes of Monday’s session. Soybeans got off to a strong start early in the day session, with buying triggered by heavy rains in parts of Argentina over the weekend. Export inspections for soybeans were also above the high end of trade guesses. Corn and wheat could benefit from index fund buying near the close, but weak wheat demand is limiting gains today.
