DTN Early Word Grains 09/05 07:17 Grains Higher After Contract Lows December corn is up 2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 1 3/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 3 3/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is up 2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 1 3/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 3 3/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Global equities are rallying, bolstered by news a fresh round of trade talks appears likely in September and October. Last week, negotiations were at a standstill with both sides ramping up rhetoric so it is only fitting this week provides the opposite influence. Strong gains in crude oil helped drive prices back toward the 50 and 200-day moving averages with stronger than expected economic data. The recovery allowed the Bloomberg Commodity Index to see the highest trade since August 1. Grains are higher across the board as positive feelings toward trade negotiations adds a boost. However, prices are simply enjoying a "dead cat bounce" after many contracts posted fresh lows the last two sessions. Producers are in no hurry to market grain despite 13 billion bushels (bb) of corn and three bb of soybeans nearing harvest in the next 30-60 days. Final yields will still come down to the date of first frost/freeze and whether full maturity can be reached. The trade seems more confident about getting through September, but October is still very much up in the air.
