DTN Early Word Grains 11/30 06:32 Positive Trade to Close Week as G-20 Summit Looms December corn was up 1 3/4 cents, January soybeans were up 1 1/2 cents, and December KC wheat was up 1 cent. Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was up 1 3/4 cents, January soybeans were up 1 1/2 cents, and December KC wheat was up 1 cent. CME Globex Recap: Softer global equity markets overnight and Friday morning as China and the U.S. prepare to enter the bear pit this weekend. As much hype as the summit is getting, it would not be a surprise to see a muted reaction Sunday night. Crude oil futures dipped below $50.00/billion barrels (bbl) yesterday but managed a close above that level. Grains are positive heading into the weekend with most assuming at least a truce on further tariffs will be agreed upon.
