DTN Early Word Grains 09/02 05:56 Not a Down Day This Fall December corn was 3 cents higher, November soybeans were 4 cents higher, and December Chicago wheat was 2 cents higher. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was 3 cents higher, November soybeans were 4 cents higher, and December Chicago wheat was 2 cents higher. CME Globex Recap: Grains were higher overnight led by follow-through buying in corn. Soybeans were also showing gains, though Thursday's back and forth session has traders less than confident over the market's ability to hold. The wheat complex was also higher, buoyed by spillover buying from the other Chicago markets. All this despite a continued rally in the U.S. dollar index. Energies gained back some of Thursday's sell-off while metals remain under pressure. DJJIA futures were also higher.
