Thursday

Markets soft as barges are pretty much all full and the China buying binge takes a breather Thursday.  Export sales delayed until Friday.  Corn off 9 cents, 408 1/4.  Wheat follows down 9 3/4 to 588 1/4.  Beans slip 7 to 1145 1/2 but the bean options got a hit to volatility as well.  Rice breaks 16 1/2 on another day of lite volume, 1227 1/2.  Wuhan lock down threats in several states, including Illinois, drives some out of the Dow, 28,992, off 319.  Right now the Elite are just asking you to stay home.  For like 3 weeks.  If you don't, they will command it.  Why not just cut out the pleasantries and command it from the beginning.  I'm thinking the sidelines aren't a bad place for the next few days myself.  Bonds rally a point and 20 tics to 172.09.  We do have a lot of air above in the bond market if the computers want to push.
