DTN Early Word Grains 10/29 06:11 Grains Post Follow-Through Selling Overnight December corn is down 2 1/2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 2 1/4 cents, and December KC wheat is down 4 1/4 cents. Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst Pre-6 a.m. Globex Prices: December corn is down 2 1/2 cents per bushel, November soybeans are down 2 1/4 cents, and December KC wheat is down 4 1/4 cents. CME Globex Recap: Global equities are stable and moving slightly higher Thursday morning with U.S. futures pointing toward modest gains. The shaking of the tree Wednesday saw most equity indices suffer their largest drawdown since June as lockdown measures become a growing reality in the United States and Western Europe. In addition, President Trump confirmed Wednesday there would be no additional stimulus measures before the election, placing the next package at-risk amid the post-election chaos which seems all but certain at this juncture. Despite stable equities, energy market selling has continued overnight with spot crude oil having dipped below 36.00 per barrel overnight. This is the lowest level since June. The U.S. Dollar Index is back above the 50-day moving average at 93.3101 to trade to 93.5410 overnight. Grains are seeing follow through selling overnight as well with wheat once again leading to the downside. Much of Wednesday's selling felt technical in nature as opposed to a shift in fundamentals. With higher volatility comes larger moves in both direction, something bulls seem to forget from time to time.
