DTN Early Word Grains 05/09 06:04 There's Quiet and There's Tuesday Morning Quiet July corn was unchanged, July soybeans were fractionally lower, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was fractionally higher. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn was unchanged, July soybeans were fractionally lower, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was fractionally higher. CME Globex Recap: The grain complex did little overnight, with most contracts posting narrow trading ranges on low volume. Some of this was a reaction to Monday's sell-off, and could be a sign of things to come ahead of Wednesday's round of USDA reports. Outside markets were a bit more active with energies mostly higher, metals mostly lower, while DJIA futures and the U.S. dollar index rallied. The latter continues to show strength following this past weekend's presidential election in France.
