    Grains-

    Once again, grain calls are mixed this morning, with corn called steady, wheat a little better, and beans a little easier. Macro markets are mostly a negative influence this morning, especially gold.

    The big news is the apparent capture or killing of Moammar Gadafi. I wonder if they got his brothers Curlymar and Larrymar as well? News out of Europe seems to go back and forth on the big Summit meeting coming up this weekend. This may cause some evening up of positions much like what we see before a USDA crop report. Export sales this morning were outstanding for corn at 69.4 million bushels ( including last week's China business ), Beans at 22m.b. ( with 300,000 tons to China ), and wheat a disappointing 14.7 m.b. After yesterday`s sell off, grains look a little vulnerable.

    Grains-

    Opening indications for grain markets this morning are mixed, with corn and wheat markets called slightly higher, and beans slightly lower. Grains, as they have been prone to do of late, will likely take their cue from the macro markets, which are mixed this morning as well. End users are still having a difficult time sourcing beans, as farmers are tight holders of beans, looking for higher prices. Weather in South America looks ideal at this point in time for planting.

    Grains-

    Opening grain calls, based on night markets, are lower to sharply lower. Corn -8-10, beans -20-25, and wheat -8-10. The China factor seemed to be in play overnight, as indications of an economic slowdown weighed on grain prices throughout the night session. Also, the U.S. dollar is firmer and equities are mixed. Harvest made good progress last week, with corn 47% done vs. the 5 year average of 41%, and beans 69% harvested vs. the 5 year average of 61%. Winter wheat planting advanced to 73% planted, close to the 5 year average. We could still see some harvest pressure in corn and beans after the huge rally of last week.

    Grains-

    Opening indications for the grain markets this a.m. are weaker, with corn called 6-8 lower, same for beans, and wheat down just 1-3. Macro markets are the lead indicator this morning, with the equities markets on the defensive, and the dollar stronger. Weekly export sales won`t be released until Friday because of the Columbus Day Holiday. We view today`s grain markets closes as an important indicator of near term direction.
