Market Stays Weak Into Floor Open

Futures are staying filled with red ink ahead of the pit open in Chicago Monday morning, with chart weakness in beans spilling over into corn and wheat. Soybeans firmed off lows and moved back above $17 after USDA announced the sale of 7.7 million bushels of soybeans to unknown destinations under its daily reporting system for large purchases. Wall Street is also weaker this morning, but so far is avoiding major losses.
