DTN Early Word Grains 11/09 05:56 Feeling Green December corn was fractionally higher, January soybeans were 4 cents higher, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was unchanged. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was fractionally higher, January soybeans were 4 cents higher, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was unchanged. CME Globex Recap: The grain and oilseed complex was trading higher, led by a strengthening uptrend in Minneapolis spring wheat and a near bullish breakout by soybeans. Corn and winter wheat were fractionally higher, par for the early morning course. From a technical point of view the overnight moves could be significant, though occurring before USDA's next round of imaginary numbers set for release at 11 am (CT) the overnight session could also be completely irrelevant. Other commodity sectors were trading mostly higher early Thursday morning.
