DTN Early Word Grains 11/20 05:56 It's a Bloody Monday December corn was fractionally lower, January soybeans were 6 cents lower, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was 4 cents lower. By Darin Newsom DTN Senior Analyst 6:00 a.m. CME Globex: December corn was fractionally lower, January soybeans were 6 cents lower, and December Chicago (SRW) wheat was 4 cents lower. CME Globex Recap: Regarding the title of this morning's commentary, you read with either an American meaning (commodity markets all in the red) or with a British dialect (bloody as a word to express annoyance or emphasis). The grain and oilseed complex showed little interest overnight in follow-through buying from Friday, led by soybeans. Wheat also took a hit while corn drifted lower. Most other commodities also struggled, with only cotton showing a small gain Monday morning. The U.S. dollar index was higher, but also well off its session high to start the day.
