DTN Early Word Grains 06/25 06:01 Grains Rally on Progress, Condition Numbers July corn is up 4 1/2 cents, July soybeans are up 6 3/4 cents, and September K.C. wheat is up 3 1/2 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: July corn is up 4 1/2 cents, July soybeans are up 6 3/4 cents, and September K.C. wheat is up 3 1/2 cents. CME Globex Recap: Easier equity markets around the globe Tuesday morning although we continue to watch the U.S. Dollar Index which made fresh lows overnight and is trading at the lowest levels since March 21. Expectations for an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve at next month's FOMC meeting is keeping pressure on the greenback, supportive for commodities. Energy markets are consolidating after last week's impressive run. Grain markets are higher across the board Tuesday morning, supported by another round of bullish progress and condition numbers from the USDA. That said, one would have thought the overnight response would have been even stronger given the data seen for soybeans. Slowly, but surely, the supply situation is growing more and more concerning for the soybean market, begging traders to ask the question what price would be if we weren't contending with African Swine Fever and a trade war? Consolidation in front of the USDA reports seemed likely but new highs, especially in soybeans, are not very far away.
