DTN Early Word Grains 07/11 05:56 Did Someone Say "Turnaround"? December corn was 3 cents lower, November soybeans were 8 cents lower, and September Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 2 cents lower. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was 3 cents lower, November soybeans were 8 cents lower, and September Kansas City (HRW) wheat was 2 cents lower. CME Globex Recap: After continuing their recent rally on the open Monday evening, grain markets traded higher for part of the overnight session before turning lower through early Tuesday morning. Such an overnight development isn't unusual given the degree of the recent rally and despite NASS' latest round of weekly crop condition numbers that were bullish across the board for spring grains. Outside markets were also under pressure with losses seen in metals and most of the energies, the outlier once again being natural gas. Financials were split with DJIA futures lower and the U.S. dollar index showing a small gain.
