DTN Early Word Grains 09/17 05:56 Grains Lower as Crude Enthusiasm Fades December corn is down 2 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 2 1/2 cents, and December K.C. wheat is down 2 1/2 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is down 2 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 2 1/2 cents, and December K.C. wheat is down 2 1/2 cents. CME Globex Recap: After the incredible volatility in energy markets to begin the week, markets are much more subdued on Tuesday as crude oil gives back over 1.0% of its Monday rally. Helping ease concerns were comments from President Trump in which he said he did not want to go to war with Iran on Saudi Arabia's behalf. In addition, Saudi Arabia made it seem as though some of the damaged production could be back online relatively soon. Elsewhere, President Trump announced an "initial" deal on trade barriers with Japan on Monday, but the chief executive of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce expressed doubt on the prospect of an interim trade deal with China. Grain markets are weaker across the board, giving back the crude-inspired strength from Monday as beneficial finishing weather looks to stay with the Midwest through the end of September. Delays to North American wheat harvest remain a concern but not one spurring covering by the record managed fund short just yet. Row crop harvest has begun in the Midwest but this should be one of the more drawn out affairs in recent memory.
