Friday

Nothing overwhelming in Friday export sales, and the cold snap is about to end.   Wheat loses its weather sponsor, and falls to 650 3/4, off 11 3/4 to end the day.  Corn backs up 7 1/2 to 542 3/4 and looked to have some new sellers helping to push.  Beans close at the midpoint of a 22 cent churn day, 1377 1/4, plus 2 1/4.  Oil strong and meal a drag.    Rice had 416 vs cash trades and a 415 drop in OI, so cash is moving here.  1287, plus 14 and appears to be running into some selling overhead, at least for now.  Dow had a typical Friday churn trade with a 2 point higher close, 31,433.  Bonds continue the long slide down, 163.03, off 1.13.
