DTN Early Word Grains 07/27 05:57 Green Markets Here, There, and Everywhere December corn was 1 cent higher, November soybeans were 4 cents higher, and September Chicago (SRW) wheat was 5 cents higher. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was 1 cent higher, November soybeans were 4 cents higher, and September Chicago (SRW) wheat was 5 cents higher. CME Globex Recap: Commodities in general were higher early Thursday morning, due in part to Wednesday's sharp sell-off by the U.S. dollar index. Gold posted the most impressive rally, up $12, while crude oil struggled to follow-through on Wednesday's rally. Grains were higher across the board on the idea it wasn't where rains fell yesterday (across most of the U.S. Midwest), but when (maybe too late to help some of the corn crop).
