   Grain and Soybeans Leak Lower, Bean Oil Surges to Highest Since July

   Grain and soybean markets fell Monday, led by soybeans and soymeal as the
Argentine rain outlook has brightened and soy premiums in South America fell,
making the U.S. less competitive. Soybean oil bucked the bearish trend and
rallied along with crude oil.
