DTN Early Word Grains 10/09 05:52 Mixed Grain Trade Midweek December corn is down 1 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 2 1/2 cents, and December K.C. wheat is down 2 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is down 1 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 2 1/2 cents, and December K.C. wheat is down 2 cents. CME Globex Recap: Mixed trade in equities as investors await the start of trade talks Thursday. Some commentators continue to express optimism toward the talks, but each day a headline seems to set the stage for likely failure. On Tuesday, the Trump Administration decided to impose visa restrictions on Chinese government officials which followed the move on Monday that the U.S. will restrict companies from exporting American-made goods to more than 28 Chinese entities. China has continued to express it does not want to tie a deal to industrial policies or government subsidies, two points the Trump Administration wants to change badly. Ag markets are mixed with the soy complex following through on strength while most wheat contracts and corn take a breather. Traders continue to wait on the big winter storm and the October WASDE with one more session before both. Late Wednesday morning, Chinese officials were offering to increase purchases of U.S. agriculture products by $10 billion a year as they seek an interim deal to stave off additional tariffs in mid-October.
