DTN Early Word Grains 09/25 05:54 Seeing Red December corn was 1 cent lower, November soybeans were 5 cents lower, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was 3 cents lower. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was 1 cent lower, November soybeans were 5 cents lower, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was 3 cents lower. CME Globex Recap: The grain and oilseed complex was under pressure early Monday morning as the U.S. dollar index rallied. Other commodities were mostly higher with only crude oil, copper and cocoa showing losses. Some of the pressure in corn and soybeans might have come from weekend harvest progress, and anecdotal reports of better-than-expected yields. Still, both markets had only erased about half of Friday's rally.
