DTN Early Word Grains 07/22 05:57 Grains Weaker as Forecast Weighs December corn is down 7 1/2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 5 1/2 cents, and September K.C. wheat is down 4 1/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is down 7 1/2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 5 1/2 cents, and September K.C. wheat is down 4 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Equities are mixed to higher around the globe Monday morning ahead of an important week of earnings in the United States. A range of high-profile companies ranging from Amazon to Boeing to McDonald's will offer a broad cross section of the U.S. economy and could steer sentiment heading into next week's Federal Reserve meeting. A that meeting, markets expect benchmark interest rates to be cut at least 25 basis points up to as much as 50 basis points. Grain markets are weaker across the board, led by corn, as it appears we will start corn pollination with mostly benign weather. Bears are quick to point out favorable pollination weather cannot offset poor conditions to-date, but this market continues to do a good job of trading the conditions directly in front of it. Traders continue to monitor trade war developments, although nothing on that front looks any more promising than it has the last six months.
