DTN Early Word Grains 10/04 05:55 A C.W. McCall Kind of Day December corn was 1 cent lower, November soybeans were 1 cent higher, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was fractionally lower. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was 1 cent lower, November soybeans were 1 cent higher, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was fractionally lower. CME Globex Recap: It goes without saying, after so many days, that the grain and oilseed complex was quiet overnight. As usual, corn barely moved, wheat was fractionally lower, and soybeans imitated corn. Other commodities didn't do much either, though gold was able to rally on a weaker U.S. dollar.
