Tregg Cronin DTN Contributing Analyst Pre-6 a.m. Globex Prices: December corn is down 5 cents per bushel, January soybeans are down 9 3/4 cents, and March KC wheat is down 2 cents. CME Globex Recap: Global equity markets were mostly weaker overnight with a slightly lower open implied by U.S. futures for Thursday morning. Many financial media outlets are reporting on the fresh coronavirus-related lockdown efforts this week from New York City public schools closing to Colorado urging residents against traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday. Offsetting this to a degree were comments from the Federal Reserve, which hinted that additional financial injections needed to weather the economic storm will be made available. Energy markets are solidly weaker overnight while the U.S. dollar is bouncing and working on its first higher close in six sessions. Grain markets are weaker across the board, giving back a solid portion of Wednesday's impressive gains. Traders will be anxious to get the latest export figures later Thursday morning as that demand sector continues to drive the demand bus.
