DTN Early Word Grains 11/10 05:54 Overnight Lows December corn was fractionally lower, January soybeans were fractionally lower, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was 1 cent lower. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was fractionally lower, January soybeans were fractionally lower, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was 1 cent lower. CME Globex Recap: It's a cold morning across the U.S. Midwest, both temperature-wise and in regards to markets as corn threatened a move to a new low overnight. Soybeans and wheat were also under pressure as the grain and oilseed complex continues to react to Thursday's USDA reports, particularly the extremely bearish set of corn numbers. Other commodity sectors were mostly higher, with only gold lower despite a slightly weaker U.S. dollar Friday morning. DJIA futures were also down, indicating continued selling when the Big Board opens.
