Soybeans and corn were lower in overnight trading as the harvest is expected to accelerate amid more dry weather. The USDA said corn and bean collection moved forward, albeit slowly, in the week through Sunday. Beans dropped about 7 cents, corn was down about 2 cents and wheat lost 2-3 cents overnight. Export inspections numbers were excellent for soybeans as they almost doubled, but awful for corn. In weather news, it's going to be cold in the central Midwest, which won't help dry down after all the rain much of the region has seen in the past few weeks. Check out today's 3 Big Things for all the details.
West Texas Intermediate = down 0.6%.
