DTN Early Word Grains 04/16 05:59 Markets See Technical Sell-Off July corn was 1 cent lower, July soybeans were 1 cent higher, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 9 cents lower. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn was 1 cent lower, July soybeans were 1 cent higher, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 9 cents lower. CME Globex Recap: The overnight sell-off into Monday morning by the grain and oilseed complex looked to be technical in nature, too early to tell if actual commercial pressure has developed. Kansas City wheat led the way, with a sharp double-digit break tied to a change in weather over parts of the U.S. Southern Plains. Corn and soybeans didn't do much overnight. The energy complex was lower, while metals were mixed. The triple-digit rally in DJIA futures point to another volatile day ahead while the U.S. dollar index was unable to hold initial gains.
