DTN Early Word Grains 04/01 05:55 Grains Mixed After USDA Fallout May corn is up 3 1/4 cents per bushel, May soybeans are up 5 1/4 cents, and May K.C. wheat is down 1/2 cent. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: May corn is up 3 1/4 cents per bushel, May soybeans are up 5 1/4 cents, and May K.C. wheat is down 1/2 cent. CME Globex Recap: Global equities are higher around the world Monday morning as Chinese equities hit their highest level in a year overnight as economic data on manufacturing improved. Investors also took some solace in the weekend trade talks between the U.S. and China, although more discussions will take place this week in Washington. Crude oil is back above $60 per barrel with its 200-day moving average just overhead at $61.68. Grains are mixed Monday morning with row crops higher and wheat mixed to lower. Friday's USDA reports were universally bearish and will have traders recalculating fair value after bushels of corn, soybeans and wheat all came in larger than expected. The bushels from the stocks report are already here and on the balance sheet while acreage is just a placeholder until producers actually hit the fields.
