DTN Early Word Grains 10/26 06:02 Beans Break $10 Barrier, Briefly December corn was fractionally higher, November soybeans were 8 cents higher, and December Chicago wheat was 1 cent higher. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was fractionally higher, November soybeans were 8 cents higher, and December Chicago wheat was 1 cent higher. CME Globex Recap: November soybeans tagged $10.01 overnight, supported by renewed buying in Malaysian palm oil and Dalian soybeans. Corn was still corn, posting less than a 3-cent trading range while sitting near unchanged. Spillover buying from soybeans supported the wheat complex, with additional help coming from the lower U.S. dollar index. Energies were lower as skepticism over an OPEC production deal mounts (there's a shocker). Metals were mostly lower, with only gold holding its head above unchanged. DJIA futures were showing a solid sell-off, hinting at another down day when the Big Board opens Wednesday morning.
