DTN Early Word Grains 06/12 05:54 Grains Easier Following WASDE Bump July corn is down 3 1/4 cents, July soybeans are down 5 3/4 cents, and July K.C. wheat is down 2 1/2 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn is down 3 1/4 cents, July soybeans are down 5 3/4 cents, and July K.C. wheat is down 2 1/2 cents. CME Globex Recap: Mostly lower equity markets Wednesday morning as investors take note of economic data out of China overnight. Consumer prices rose 2.7% from a year ago in May, the fasted pace in 15-months and due largely to the rise in pork prices. Pork prices carry a greater weight in China's inflation index because of the importance of meat in the national diet. Grains are weaker, failing to follow through on the post-WASDE strength. Corn bulls got plenty to sink their teeth into on Tuesday but the narrative is quickly shifting to focus on yield-determining weather. Soybeans and wheat didn't get much for supportive news, and when left to their own devices, should have a hard time shaking their bearish fundamentals. The trade will now begin ramping up for the end of the month acreage and stocks report which could prove to be one of the more high volatility reports in recent memory.
