DTN Early Word Grains 11/11 06:02 Grains Weaker Post-WASDE December corn is down 2 3/4 cents per bushel, January soybeans are down 4 1/2 cents, and December KC wheat is down 2 3/4 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is down 2 3/4 cents per bushel, January soybeans are down 4 1/2 cents, and December KC wheat is down 2 3/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Happy Veteran's Day to all those who have served in the United States military. Thank you for your service. Global equity markets are weaker to begin the week, pressured by yet another turn of events in the trade war with China. Early last week, sentiment was running high following comments from Chinese officials which said a deal was close with both sides agreeing to roll back tariffs together. By Friday, trade hawks must have gotten to President Donald Trump as he u-turned to say he had agreed to no tariff rollbacks. Uncertainty looms about the Dec. 15 deadline, which will see additional tariffs enacted by the United States if no agreement is reached. Grain markets are weaker on Friday's USDA report, benign South American weather and the aforementioned trade headlines. Plenty of harvest left to complete in the U.S., but this is likely to be a drawn-out affair as the Northern Plains continues to battle soft fields and high grain moisture.
