DTN Early Word Grains 02/11 05:58 Weaker Grains as Trade Talks, Government Shutdown in Focus March corn is down 3/4 cent per bushel, March soybeans are down 3/4 cent, and March K.C. wheat is down 2 3/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: March corn is down 3/4 cent per bushel, March soybeans are down 3/4 cent, and March K.C. wheat is down 2 3/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: In global financial markets, the focus is on the resumption of trade talks between the U.S. and China this week in Beijing as well as efforts to avoid another U.S. government shutdown on Friday. High-level talks, including U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, will begin later this week after lower-level talks starting Monday. Talks to avoid another government closure remain deadlocked over President Trump's border wall. Grains are weaker Monday morning following Friday's USDA report release. The market seems to have quickly decided much of the data we received was dated, and until reports get current, our markets are likely rangebound.
