By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is up 3 1/2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 7 1/4 cents, and September K.C. wheat is up 7 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Mixed to weaker global equity markets with reports U.S. officials are preparing a trip to China before the end of July failing to provide traction. The U.S. will be sending U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, lending odds to a more serious discussion. As we've come to realize, there are few avenues for both President Xi and President Trump to declare victory in this trade war, raising prospects the conflict continues on into 2020. Higher markets led by wheat as winter wheat harvest winds down and bushels will now become more difficult to buy from the farmer. Spring wheat harvest has yet to begin across North America, although solid prospects are still expected. Ranges are setting up in both corn and soybeans with a high likelihood August WASDE data needs to move outside of that range.
