DTN Early Word Grains 08/14 06:01 Grains Bounce as Bears Take a Breather December corn is up 3 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 1/2 cent, and September K.C. wheat is up 5 1/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is up 3 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 1/2 cent, and September K.C. wheat is up 5 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Global equities are softer, led lower by Europe after the German economy shrank during the second quarter by 0.1% from the year before. Analysts cited the growing trade tensions between the U.S. and China as weighing on global trade, but is still a bit unnerving to see one of the EU's heavy-hitters become one of the economic laggards. U.S. equities did trade stronger Tuesday on the news President Trump would delay the imposition of additional tariffs until December to let trade talks continue as scheduled next month. Grains are bouncing a bit overnight, led by Chicago and Kansas City wheat. Futures prices are getting down to levels where end user interest is expected to increase, especially as farm-gate selling slows to a crawl. There would still seem to be a fair amount of grain which needs to move off the farm before harvest, and how smoothly that transition occurs could drive price action in the next couple of weeks.
