National Grain Market Summary:

Compared to Friday, cash bids for corn and wheat were mixed, soybeans were higher, while sorghum was not quoted today. The soybean market had an interesting session, with an early double-digit rally in old-crop July sparked by strong commercial buying in soybean meal both due to a rainy weekend in Argentina. Weekend rains across parts of the U.S. Southern Plains and Midwest had winter wheat contracts on the defensive throughout Monday's session.
