DTN Early Word Grains 11/11 05:58 A Return to Normal in Overnight Markets December corn was 2 cents lower, January soybeans were 7 cents higher, and December Chicago wheat was fractionally lower. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was 2 cents lower, January soybeans were 7 cents higher, and December Chicago wheat was fractionally lower. CME Globex Recap: The pattern of soybeans posting a strong overnight rally before pulling back continued Thursday night into Friday morning. However, unlike the previous session corn and wheat didn't follow. Also, outside markets were more in line with what would be expected with metals lower and metals mostly lower. The outlier in the latter is copper as it continues to post an impressive rally. The U.S. dollar index was near unchanged while DJIA futures were lower.
