Posted at 10:36 a.m. – December corn is up 1/4 cent per bushel, January soybeans are down 2 3/4 cents per bushel. In December, KC wheat was up 1 1/2 cents per bushel, in December, Chicago wheat was down 1 1/4 cents per bushel, and in December, Minneapolis wheat was up 8 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 573.12 points to 34,910.99 and the U.S. dollar index fell 1.320 to 104.31 and December crude oil rose $0.91 a barrel to $79.17. On Tuesday morning we see that both soybeans and soymeal are weakening slightly due to the big gains on Monday. Corn is little changed and wheat is a mixed bag, with only Minneapolis significantly higher. The day's bullish winner is soybean oil, which is now rising sharply and rising above the 20-day moving average for the first time since September. Stock prices continue to rise due to better inflation news from the Consumer Price Index.
