DTN Early Word Grains 01/23 05:53 Higher Grains as Ranges, Lack of Volatility Persist March corn up 1 3/4 cents, March soybeans up 3 3/4 cents, and March KC Wheat up 3 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: March corn up 1 3/4 cents, March soybeans up 3 3/4 cents, and March KC Wheat up 3 cents. CME Globex Recap: Equities are trading cautiously after reports Tuesday the Trump Administration was canceling lower-level trade talks later this week in Washington. Higher-level talks are still scheduled for January 30-31 but the admission the two sides remain a good deal apart with the March 2 deadline a little more than a month away is unsettling. Grains are in no hurry to go anywhere as fundamental data sets are lacking and interest from producers, end users and fund managers decline at these prices.
