DTN Early Word Grains 05/22 08:09 Mixed Ag Trade as Grains Take a Breather, Soybeans Stabilize July corn is down 5 1/4 cents per bushel, July soybeans are up 2 1/4 cents, and July K.C. wheat is down 6 1/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn is down 5 1/4 cents per bushel, July soybeans are up 2 1/4 cents, and July K.C. wheat is down 6 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Mixed equity markets around the globe Wednesday morning with outside market news actually lacking for a change. Chatter from the trade front has been mostly quiet, minutes from the last FOMC meeting at the end of April are expected to show a neutral stance toward interest rate policy and to our knowledge there were no Trump-Tweets early Wednesday morning. Ag markets are mixed Wednesday morning as grains finally post some consolidation while soybeans bounce a bit from yesterday's late selloff. The rumors flying around the trade about a potential second Market Facilitation Payment were hot and heavy with thoughts an announcement could be made Thursday. Combined with the still wet forecast, grain futures have plenty to discount at the moment.
