By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was fractionally lower, November soybeans were 3 cents higher, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was fractionally higher. CME Globex Recap: It's a quiet morning in the grain and oilseed complex, maybe too quiet for markets like corn and wheat that seem to get spooked easily. Soybeans seem unfazed by the roll of the calendar to Friday the 13th, with light follow-through buying from Thursday providing support. Elsewhere, the energy complex is off and running early with Brent crude up more than $1.00. The U.S. dollar index and gold are both near unchanged as DJIA futures posted an overnight gain.
