eCBOT grains are lower overnight in consolidation from recent gains. Soybeans and wheat hit three-month highs in Chicago last night with corn posting two-month highs.
This morning beans are around 5-12c easier, with corn down around 4c and wheat around 7c lower.
Crude oil is almost a dollar easier around $48/barrel, ahead of US stocks data later today which is expected to show another increase in crude and gasoline inventories.
