DTN Early Word Grains 09/12 05:55 Grains Rallying into September WASDE December corn is up 1 1/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 7 1/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 1 3/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is up 1 1/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 7 1/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 1 3/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Equity markets are mixed around the globe, but traders were encouraged by President Trump's decision to delay his proposed tariff hike from October 1 to October 15 to give trade talks in early October a chance. His move followed a similar move by China earlier Wednesday, the first signs of optimism we've seen on either side in several weeks. Grain markets are higher across the board as we get set for the September WASDE later Thursday morning. The average trade estimates expect cuts to supply in corn and soybeans and the USDA will for the first time be using objective yield data from the field. Bulls expect this will finally expose the lack of yield in the Midwest while bears point toward record breaking rainfall and a cooler than normal summer as evidence the bushels should be there provided they are allowed to finish. We will be interested to see demand changes for both marketing years which could quietly steal the show if USDA doesn't provide the large-scale changes to supply some are expecting.
