By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn was 5 cents higher, July soybeans were 10 cents higher, and July Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 9 cents higher. CME Globex Recap: Late Thursday brought more rumblings of a trade deal being made with China, including no tariffs against U.S. agricultural commodities and the return of anti-dumping fees already levied against grain sorghum. Of course the U.S. President denied it, making the situation all the more likely. Overnight trade in grain and oilseeds indicates something may actually be brewing with strong rallies seen in soybeans, corn, and wheat.
