Futures are lower across the board this morning, led by more selling in soybeans. A weak vegetable oil market in Asia coupled with wetter forecasts in Argentina took January soybeans below chart support overnight. Winter wheat contracts are also under pressure, making new contract lows despite forecasts for more dry conditions over the next two weeks. Corn remains in its recent range but is also lower, holding less than a penny above chart support.
