DTN Early Word Grains 01/22 05:41 Mixed Start as Volatility, Capital Flee Amid Government Shutdown March corn down 1 3/4 cents, March soybeans down 2 cents, and March KC Wheat up 1 1/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: March corn down 1 3/4 cents, March soybeans down 2 cents, and March KC Wheat up 1 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Global equity markets are mainly softer this morning as the U.S. government shutdown and U.S-Chinese trade talks will be the main focus. Real concern is surfacing as to the effect of the government shutdown on economic growth. Grains are mostly weaker to begin the week as the government shutdown continues to drain volatility from the Ag space. It looks as though February will be the next set of USDA reports, although only if political leaders come to an agreement very soon.
