DTN Early Word Grains 08/13 06:00 Grains Weaker, Soy Firmer on USDA Fallout December corn is down 11 1/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 7 1/4 cents, and September K.C. wheat is down 2 1/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is down 11 1/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 7 1/4 cents, and September K.C. wheat is down 2 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Weaker stock markets around the globe overnight Monday, pressured by bond yields extending their recent plunge. In the U.S. on Monday, the 10-yr treasury note saw its yield fall to 1.645%, the lowest level in almost three years while the 30-yr treasury bond yield settled at 2.133%, just above the record low of 2.088% in July 2016. Similar performances were noted in German bunds and Chinese government debt. It is difficult to dismiss the price action in debt, especially as it pertains to global growth fears. Traders heading for the safer haven of government-backed securities speaks to the larger fears about the global economy. Grain markets are mixed to weaker Tuesday morning following the rout suffered Monday following the bearish blow dealt by the USDA. Soybeans managed to post positive trade overnight, receiving the "least bearish" report from the government. With the data received Monday, corn will have a difficult time shaking both yield and acreage assumptions until combines roll in 45-60 days. The remaining fund long in corn has likely been exited so now it is a question of whether they will move to a meaningful net short position or simply remain on the sidelines.
