The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 646.12 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.180 and September crude oil is down $3.50 per barrel. August gold is down $44.30 per ounce. Headed for the Tuesday finish, grain and soy markets are mixed. Corn is the big winner on falling conditions and a warmer and drier outlook ahead. Soybeans and meal are firm, but bean oil is under pressure with the falling crude prices with September crude sliding below $80 per barrel. Wheat is mixed. In corn, there is beginning to be talk about yield falling to 180 bpa or below.
