DTN Early Word Grains 11/12 05:57 Grains Post Modest Bounce Tuesday December corn is up 3/4 cent per bushel, January soybeans are up 3/4 cent, and December KC wheat is up 3 cents. By Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn is up 3/4 cent per bushel, January soybeans are up 3/4 cent, and December KC wheat is up 3 cents. CME Globex Recap: Global stocks are higher in the overnight session with investors looking forward to President Donald Trump's speech at the Economic Club of New York, which is focused on trade and economic policy. Any comments from the president about the trade war could provide additional market-moving headlines. Financial markets are also looking forward to Fed Chair Powell's testimony in front of Congress on Wednesday and Thursday, which he could use as an opportunity to reiterate his stance of not needing any additional interest rate cuts. Grain markets are higher across the board, bouncing from Monday's weaker session as the focus shifts from the November WASDE supply changes back to U.S. demand, South American weather and U.S.-China trade talks. It would seem psychologically significant that corn futures no longer have a contract above $4.00 through December 2020, especially as we get close to the holiday doldrums between Thanksgiving and Christmas. With the early seed-buying period for next spring already upon producers, the discussion will also be shifting to acreage intentions.
