DTN Early Word Grains 10/22 05:54 Grains Rally Overnight Led by Soybeans, KC Wheat December corn is up 2 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 10 3/4 cents, and December 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 2 3/4 cents per bushel, November soybeans are up 10 3/4 cents, and December K.C. wheat is up 5 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Equities are lightly mixed ahead of the 'Brexit' vote beginning in Parliament Tuesday and should be completed by Thursday. If approved, the withdrawal bill would go to the House of Lords for approval in time for the October 31 deadline. Even if the vote does not go through, there seems to be an appetite for an extension beyond the October 31 deadline, avoiding the "hard Brexit." Grain markets are higher across the board, led by soybeans and Kansas City wheat which began rallying around midnight and haven't looked back since. Delayed harvest remains supportive, especially as forecasts show no big warmup through the end of October which will keep field conditions slow to dry. Nothing fresh on the trade front with hopes still high for some sort of a deal to be inked at the economic summit in Chile next week. President Trump has continued to send tweets suggesting a deal is looking good, but markets have seen their fair share of those in 2019. If soybean contracts are able to stake out new highs for the move, which would also be new four and seven-month highs, it would likely signal funds are comfortable adding to their newfound long positions as we move toward the South American growing season.
