By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: March corn is up 3/4 cents per bushel, March soybeans are down 2 3/4 cents, and March K.C. wheat is up 3/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Global equity markets are mixed Tuesday morning as trade tensions between China and the U.S. were ramped up even further yesterday after the Trump Administration decided to issue criminal charges against an official in Chinese telecom giant Huawei Communications. Experts suggest odds of a deal just became significantly worse, and definitely begs the question of why the actions had to come this week. This week is as important as any since the growing season for grain markets as the USDA gets set to replenish data sets and implications from the trade talks could have long-lasting effects.
