Overnight markets were higher for grains and lower for oilseeds, with CBOT wheat up 6.25 cents, corn up 5.75 cents and soybeans down 6.75 cents. Wheat gained on corn and spring wheat strength, with USDA reporting spring wheat planting at 22 percent versus a 34 percent average.

Slow spring wheat planting and frost and dryness risks support wheat prices, while soybean weakness reflects competition from corn for acres. The moves are small and mostly technical.
