DTN Early Word Grains 06/14 06:13 Grains Rally into Weekend as Yield Concerns Persist July corn is up 5 1/4 cents per bushel, July soybeans are up 3 3/4 cents, and July KC wheat is up 2 1/2 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn is up 5 1/4 cents per bushel, July soybeans are up 3 3/4 cents, and July KC wheat is up 2 1/2 cents.. CME Globex Recap: The equity markets were mostly weaker Friday and the one-day rally in energy prices also appears to have cooled, with tensions easing slightly over the oil tanker kerfuffle. The oil market is also quick to recognize a slowdown in crude shipments through the Suez Canal, which will likely have limited impact on global supply, especially as U.S. stocks rise to near five-year highs. Grain markets continue to add to recent gains with acre and yield speculation running rampant. Our markets will continue to rally on uncertainty and will likely have highs made once confirmation comes on either figure. Concerns are growing louder that soybeans may be joining corn with respect to yields and acres, although we feel it is a bit too early to be axing significant yield potential off the soybean crop. A daylight-sensitive crop that has so much potential based off August and September weather can be litigated later in the summer in our opinion.
